• 2.1: Notation and Basic Functions

    • The Rectangular Coordinate System and Graphs Book

      This section will introduce the cartesian coordinate plane and how to plot points and lines on it. You will also evaluate a two-variable linear equation and learn how a point on the cartesian plane can be a solution to a linear equation in two variables.

    • Defining and Writing Functions Book

      This section introduces the terminology and notation used to define and represent a function using words, function notation, and tables. We will use the concepts and notation introduced in this section throughout the course, so make sure you master them before moving on.

    • Properties of Functions and Basic Function Types Book

      In this section, you will analyze graphs to determine whether they represent a function and be introduced to the graphs of the basic functions. Pay close attention to the basic functions because they will be referred to throughout most of the course.
