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 precalculus, like the exponential,
logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Hence,
we start this lesson by recalling these functions
and their corresponding graphs.
