About this unit
While we're often familiar with functions that output just one variable and are graphed with Cartesian coordinates, there are other possibilities! Vector-valued functions, for example, can output multiple variables. Polar functions, too, differ, using polar coordinates for graphing. We can still explore these functions with derivatives and integrals.AP Calc:
