    FABRICE OLIVIER CASTRES
    This document discusses core functions and transformations of functions. It contains examples of defining functions, finding their domains and ranges, and describing their properties. It also provides exercises on sketching the graphs of functions based on transformations, including translations, stretches, and reflections. The goal is to demonstrate how functions can be manipulated through transformations to obtain different graphs from an original function.
