Section 1-- Basic Functions

---

     Section 1 covers Algebraic, Exponential, Logarithmic, and Trigonometric topics which are required knowledge for not only the Calc AP AB Exam, but the understanding of Calculus as well. Surprisingly enough, unlike the other sections, this may be the most useful because many students may have forgotten these basics over the years. On the other hand, the questions are never going to solely target one of the principles below.

• Properties of Functions
  • What is a Function?
  • Graphs of a Function
  • Function Combinations
  • Vectors
  • Even and Odd Functions
  • Absolute Value
  • Polar Coordinates
  • Parametric Equations
  • Inverse of a Function
  • Periodicity
  • Zeroes of a Function
• Particular Functions
  • Periods and Amplitudes
  • Special Trigonometric Functions
  • Identities and Formulas of Trigonometric Functions
  • Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
• Limits
  • Properties of Limits
  • Special Limits
  • Continuity
  • Theorems of Continuity
