Functions of y refer to equations where y is expressed as a function of x. Instead of solving for x, we solve for y in terms of x.
Think about baking cookies using a recipe that tells you how much flour (y) you need based on the number of cookies (x) you want to make. The equation would be a function of y since it expresses how much flour you need depending on the number of cookies desired.
Area Between Two Curves: This term refers to finding the region enclosed by two functions on an interval when integrating with respect to x.
Implicit Differentiation: This technique allows us to differentiate equations where one variable is implicitly defined as a function of another variable.
Parametric Equations: These are sets of equations that express variables (usually x and y) as functions dependent on an independent parameter (often denoted as t).
