This Desmos graph gives an interactive way to think about average rates of change in the context of examples from physics and economics. You should try changing the definition of the function, and see how you can interpret the examples in that case.

Piecewise Functions (0.1)
This Desmos graph shows you how to graph piecewise functions in Desmos. You can also experiment with the slope and intercept of a line piece, and try to connect it to a parabola piece in a smooth way.
Graph Transformations (0.2)
At this Desmos page, you can experiment with different choices of the function, and see the effect of each standard transformation of the function has on its graph.
Precalculus Review Problems
The above PDF handout has a list of problems that should help you recall and review important ideas and methods from algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus generally. Please consult Chapter 0 of the text and seek help during your instructor’s office hours or at the Math Tutoring Center whenever you have questions.
Introduction to Desmos
At this Demos page, you will be introduced to the way Desmos uses function notation and sliders to make graphs.
