Forgetting Curve & Myself

1. Due to all the experience I have attained throughout all my school years, I believe the Forgetting Curve is pretty accurate. For instance, when one learns something by studying hard, paying attention, and making an effort ( this does not mean making an effort to cram for a test), it is more likely to hold on to all the information learned. In the past, I have learned about U.S History thoroughly, and I am proud to say I know a lot about it. It's all about studying hard everyday and not cram for tests. I can't say I haven't crammed for a test, but when I don't, I get the reward later on when I get a review test or a midterm. When I study for Pre-Calculus, I get good results when I pay attention in class and when I do my homework completely. By doing my Homework I get to notice the kinds of problems I am weak at and the one's I can't do for myself. By doing so, I am able to ask questions in class the next day so I can clear my questions on math problems. I believe my study skills are very good. When I am determined to do good in a class, I would do it by studying hard, paying attention in class, and always doing my Homework. I believe that is the key for success in the school life.

2. In the beginning of the year I had trouble with Pre Calculus because I wasn't used to graphing and the definition of functions. I still have weaknesses in the functions part and when it comes to finding domain and range, I always hesitate. Since I am a very visual person, is there any way I can find the domain and range of a function just by locating x and y?
