Lesson 01

Function Language, Notation & Evaluation

Function notation separates the name of a relationship from the value produced at a chosen input. Evaluation means substituting an allowed input everywhere the variable appears, preserving grouping and units.

Lesson 02

Domain, Range, Intervals & Constraints

Domain restrictions come from the rule and the context. Denominators cannot be zero, even roots require nonnegative radicands in the real numbers, and real situations may restrict time, count, or measurement.

Lesson 03

Transformations of Parent Functions

Transformations describe how a parent function is stretched, reflected, and shifted. Horizontal changes act inside the input and therefore work inversely; vertical changes act directly on outputs.

Lesson 04

Function Composition & Decomposition

Composition uses the output of one function as the input of another. The order matters, and the domain must satisfy both the inner function and the outer function after substitution.

Lesson 05

Inverse Functions & One-to-One Relationships

An inverse reverses a one-to-one function. Swap input and output, solve for the new output, and verify by composition. A restricted domain may be needed before an inverse is a function.

Lesson 06

Piecewise, Absolute-Value & Step Functions

Piecewise functions use different rules on different parts of the domain. Endpoint symbols and context determine whether a boundary value is included, excluded, or shared.
