I would find it easier to understand, especially at 9:58, if instead of going back to the square root function, you explained the domain and range a little more.

I think this is an excellent course, but I found one small discrepancy distracting: In real life, the second and subsequent ounces of postage costs less than the first ounce.

Functions and Graphs

  • A function is a rule in which each value assigned to the function (each input) produces exactly one output.

  • Functions are graphed on the coordinate plane.

  • The input value is called the independent variable and the output is called the dependent variable.

  • A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The set of all first terms is called the domain of the relation. The set of second terms is called the range of the relation.

  • A discrete function has a graph consisting of isolated points that are not connected.

  • A continuous function has a graph that is a smooth curve or line.
