Real-world situations can be expressed in terms of functional relationships. These
functional relationships are called mathematical models. In applications of calculus, it is
quite important that one can generate these mathematical models.
They sometimes use functions that you encountered in pre-calculus, like the
exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Hence, we start this lesson by
recalling these functions and their corresponding graphs.
