1. 1.1 to 1.3 Just the Facts, Ma’am. A Review of some basic concepts before we get into big deal Calculus (Oh I can’t wait!!!)

2. What is a Function? Definition: The set of (x, y) pairs such that each x has its own unique y value. The x values of a function are called the Domain of the Function and all the y values are called the Range of the Function. X is called the “independent variable” while y is the “dependent variable”

3. Domain The domain is the set of x values that are allowed in the function. The easiest way to define the domain (all the x values possible) is to define what the domain can’t be. Look for square roots (which must be positive) and fractions (which can’t have zeroes in the denominator. Other than that, pretty much anything goes.

4. Range The range is the set of y values that come out of the function. You can determine the range by either looking at the graph, or also looking at what you can put in and what would come out based on the domain. Example: Find the domain and range of the function

5. Odd/Even Functions “Odd” and “even” are ways of describing symmetric properties of functions. Odd Function: f(–x) = – f(x) Even Function: f(–x) = f(x). Come up with an odd function and an even function and lets look at them graphically.graphically Is everything Odd or Even? No, it could be neither.

6. Graph Shifting Given f(x) Graph of f(x+h)  Shifts graph left h units Graph of f(x–h)  Shifts graph right h units Graph of f(x)+k  Shifts graph up k units Graph of f(x)–k  Shifts graph down k units

7. Compositions f ◦ g  f(g(x))g ◦ f  g(f(x)) a) f(x) ◦ g(x) b) g(x) ◦ f(x) 1. If and find 2. If, and find f ◦ g ◦ h. 3. If and find f ◦ g
