I created this set of 12 basic functions posters to accompany the 12 Basic Functions Challenge Activity for my Pre-Calculus Classes. I decided the posters deserve a page of their own so they can be more easily found and downloaded.


Each one of these posters represented one of the 12 basic functions identified in our Demana and Waits Pre-Calculus textbook.

Each poster contains the name of the function as identified by our book, a graph of the function, the equation of the function, and an interesting fact about the function.
