Unit 1 · Strand: Characteristics of Functions
Meet functions: inputs and outputs, function notation, domain and range, and the different ways a function can be shown.

f(3) looks like multiplication, but it isn't. Learn the shorthand mathematicians use for “put this input in, get this output out”.

Six basic graphs are the building blocks of almost every function you will meet. Learn their equations, their shapes, and why each one looks the way it does.
About 45 minutes
Describe exactly which inputs and outputs a function allows.

Undo a function and explore how its graph reflects in y = x.

Stretch, flip and slide four parent graphs. One equation — g(x) = af(x − d) + c — tells you exactly how every graph moves.

When a number multiplies x inside a function, the graph squeezes or stretches sideways — and it works the opposite way you might expect.

Put it all together: a, k, d and c in one equation. Stretch, flip and slide any parent graph — and find where every point lands.
