Objectives:

• Students will be able to answer the questions "What is a function?" using correct notation to provide meaningful interpretation

Important Notes:

• Problem 5: algebra with inequalities and absolute value
• Problem 6: they will have no idea where to start
• Problem 9: what piecewise functions are and how to evaluate them
• Problem 9.5: evaluating functions at expressions
• Problem 11: no one remembers log rules
• Problem 14: inverse trig functions and drawing triangles
