Basics
This section includes things that we have done in Pre-Calculus or sooner and have built upon in Calculus. This section includes basic parent graphs and the 6-step graphing process; the Big List; and limits, absolute values, and logs. Whether you are in Pre-Calculus are Calculus, these materials will help you tremendously. Please take some time to review these items if you have not done so already. Here is a picture of the highly prized unit circle just in case you need it:
Here is an example on how to graph a function:
5. Asymptote Behavior: Set the limit as x approaches the asymptote's value.
6. End Behavior: Set the limit as x approaches ∞ and -∞.
Here is the final result:
Here are two more functions but with less work shown:
