Exploring Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

The video tutorial covers the basics of functions and graphing equations using tables. It explains the concepts of independent and dependent variables, domain, and range. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to graph equations by generating ordered pairs from a table. It includes practice problems and examples to reinforce learning. The video also distinguishes between linear and quadratic equations and concludes with a summary and a light-hearted joke.

Why is graphing from a table important in algebra?
