Master polynomial and rational functions through this comprehensive video series covering the first unit of AP Precalculus over nearly 11 hours of instruction. Learn fundamental concepts starting with distance and midpoint formulas, then progress through graphing equations, lines, circles, and functions. Explore function properties, transformations, and piecewise-defined functions before diving into linear and quadratic function analysis. Study polynomial functions, their models, and inequalities, then advance to rational function properties and graphing techniques. Develop skills in finding real and complex zeros using the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, solving polynomial and rational inequalities, and calculating average rates of change with secant lines. Each lesson provides step-by-step explanations, worked examples, and clear graphing processes designed to build understanding and confidence for AP exam success.
