Pre Calc Notes

Chapter 1 introduces key concepts in functions including: 1) A function is a rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. It relates two quantities where one depends on the other. 2) Graphs can be used to interpret functions visually and analyze their properties like domain, range, and slope. 3) The derivative provides the rate of change of a function and can be used to analyze motion problems. 4) Functions can be combined, composed, and have inverses that undo the original function.
