Analyzing Functions

Composition of Functions

Famous Functions, Updated

Composition of Functions

We explore how when can combine two functions by composing them. That is, how we can plug one function into another to create a new function.

Domains and Ranges of Composite Functions

We explore the domain and range of a composite function.

What are the Zeros of Functions?

Zeros of Functions

We explore what it means to find the zero of a function.

The Importance of the Equals Sign

We explore the similarities and differences between expressions, equations, and functions. We also look at when it is and is not appropriate to use the equals sign.

Finding Zeros

We explore what it means to find the zero of a function.
