Overview
On this page, you will find resources to review how to modify (“transform”) and combine functions in various ways to construct new ones, including piecewise-defined functions and rational functions.
Important
Remember that it is up to you to decide how much of the listed resources you need to read or watch, you probably do not need to go through all of it. You might also want to look at the General Study Tips & Tricks page for some recommendations on how to effectively study with a math textbook and videos.
