Often, when studying functions, in addition to plotting a function's graph, you'll need to determine the properties of the function itself. These properties include its domain, its range, its monotonicity, its boundedness, its largest and smallest values, and some other parameters. I'll explain what these are in the next 5 minutes, and I'll demonstrate how it all works with examples. I welcome your comments on my website specclass.ru, on VKontakte, and on Facebook.
