PRECALCULUS Summer Math Packet In preparation for Pre-Calculus, we have prepared a packet of concepts that students should know how to do. These concepts have been taught in previous math classes. This packet does not require you to use a calculator; in fact you should not use a calculator at all on any of these problems. Pre-Calculus builds on the concepts in this packet. We start teaching Pre-Calculus concepts on the first day of school. We epect you to know the concepts in the packet in order to help you be successful in Pre-Calculus. If you are struggling with this packet, get help from a friend, parent, or tutor. If you can t find someone to help you, there are tutors available. A list of tutors can be found by calling Reagan High School. Keep in mind these tutors may charge a fee. You will have a graded assignment within the first two weeks of school. The graded assignment will cover all the concepts in the packet, but will not be the eact same problems. The graded assignment will be without a calculator. You can go to youtube and type in the name of the concept and watch math teachers eplain the concepts FOR FREE. DO THIS IF YOU FORGET HOW TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!

) Parent Function Graphs & Finding Domain ANSWERS No Calculator!! PART : Be able to sketch the following parent function graphs: [ c implies any one constant number]
PART : State the domain of each function using interval notation. [Eclusions or restrictions of domain are results of problems in the equations when variables are replaced with numbers in various circumstances. For instance, square rooting a negative cannot be graphed on a real number plane because the answer is imaginary. Also, when a denominator equals 0, the answer is undefined and cannot be graphed on a real number plane. These problems result in numbers that must be ecluded from the domain. If no problems eist, there are no restrictions or eclusions and the domain is all real numbers written as.] (, ) ) f ) f ) f,,,, ) f 9 ) f 6) f,,,, ) f 8) f 0,,,,,66,
