Chapter 2: Families of Functions. Linear, exponential, logarithmic, periodic, and power functions are introduced. Students are shown how to recognize these functions in their various representations. Students are also shown how to obtain a formula when given a linear, exponential, or power function either numerically or graphically. This lays the groundwork for these functions and for their use throughout the remainder of the book.  Examples of real­world situations are included for each type of function.

Chapter 5: Trigonometric Functions. The periodic functions of sine and cosine, introduced in chapter 2, are reviewed and other trigonometric functions are introduced in this chapter. These functions are introduced by using the unit circle definitions.  The geometry of a circle, including arc length and area, are also explored. The transformations, introduced in chapter 3, are applied to the trigonometric functions.  Trigonometric identities are introduced throughout the chapter and are the focus of section 5.4.
