Functions & Their Graphs
Functions
Domain (x-values): real numbers which can be placed for x Range (y-values): real numbers which are created from the values for x Even functions: Reflect through the y-axis, f(x) = f(-x) Odd functions: Reflect through the origin, f(x) = -f(-x)

Trigonometric Functions
For all pts, (x,y) on the unit circle: sin t = y, cos t = x, tan t = y/x
t = real number (length of arc on unit circle) that corresponds to pt (x,y) y = sin x y = cos x
sin ( x) cos ( x) 1
