PART I: RELATIONS & FUNCTIONS
Analyze each relation and apply the rules of functions to solve.
PART II: EVALUATING FUNCTIONS & DOMAIN/RANGE
Perform algebraic substitutions and state interval limitations.
PART III: ARITHMETIC SEQUENCES
Identify the common difference and build matching explicit and recursive rules.
PART IV: GEOMETRIC SEQUENCES
Identify the common ratio and calculate exponential changes.
PART V: MIXED REVIEW & DYNAMIC PATTERNS
Synthesize both sections to solve overarching problems.
