  • Calculus models transition from discrete to continuous
  • Output of first process becomes domain for second
  • Distinguishing between continuous input domains and discrete output sets
  • The sequential logic of function composition
  • Inverse functions undo operations
  • Vertical asymptotes and undefined fractions
  • Continuous vs discrete domains
  • Inverse graph reflection
  • Asymptote magnitude
  • Function composition logic
  • Behavior at discontinuities
  • Exponential growth rates are proportional to the current value, not a fixed amount.
