Understanding Functions and Their Properties

This video tutorial covers a comprehensive review of unit 1, focusing on using calculators to find extrema of functions, understanding function boundaries, graphing piecewise functions, identifying discontinuities, determining domains, and exploring function compositions. It also delves into inverse functions and calculating surface area for geometric shapes. The tutorial emphasizes algebraic techniques and graphing skills, providing a detailed walkthrough of each concept.

What is the first step in finding the maximum point of a function using a calculator?

• Estimate the maximum point visually.

• Use the calculator's solve function.

• Directly input the function into the calculator.

• Graph the function and use the trace function.
