Chapter 1 Functions and Models
This chapter is mostly a review of pre-calculus, in conjunction with part of the preview assignments. In class we cover just the last two sections, on exponentials and logarithms, plus topics that come up from questions on the preview assignment.
The exercises for this chapter start with four online WebAssign diagnostic assignments. These correspond to the diagnostic tests near the front of the textbook, but submit your answers online even if you work them all out on paper first; partly to learn how to use WebAssign before we start on the graded assignments.
By the end of this Chapter, you should be able to answer all the Concept Check Questions and True-False Quiz questions from the Chapter 1 Review on pages 68 and 69.
