Understanding Functions and Graphs in Pre-Calculus
This lesson explores the fundamental concepts of functions and their graphs in pre-calculus. Students will graph lines and piecewise functions, define essential terms such as function, domain, and range, and perform the vertical line test. They will also learn to use function notation, calculate rates of change, and identify basic graphs. Various online resources, including interactive tutorials and assignments, will support their understanding of functions, including translations and compositions. Homework will reinforce concepts covered in class.
