We start this course by investigating a variety of different concepts related to functions and how they can be used

to represent everyday situations.

Respond to the following question

• Which ideas about functions do you think might be the most helpful to you in your day-to-day planning?
• Pick one situation from your life (personal, professional, or even academic) that you might be able to use one of the concepts related to functions presented this week. How can the things we are learning this week help you save time or provide additional information for making a decision?
