Analyzing Functions and Transformations

The video tutorial covers a practice problem modeled after an AP exam question, focusing on a seesaw scenario. It explains how to analyze a graph representing the height of a point on the seesaw over time, determine coordinates, and transform a function to find specific constants. The tutorial also interprets the graph to understand the function's behavior, including its rate of change and concavity.
