PieceWise Functions Practice

Front

What is a piecewise function?

Back

A piecewise function is a function that is defined by different expressions or formulas for different parts of its domain.

How do you evaluate a piecewise function at a specific point?

Back

To evaluate a piecewise function at a specific point, determine which piece of the function applies to that point based on its domain restrictions, and then use that expression to find the function's value.

What does the notation f(x) mean in a piecewise function?

Back

In a piecewise function, f(x) represents the output value of the function for a given input x, which may depend on which piece of the function is applicable.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

How do you find the domain of a piecewise function?

Back

To find the domain of a piecewise function, identify the x-values for which each piece of the function is defined and combine these intervals.

Front

What is a graph of a piecewise function?

Back

A graph of a piecewise function consists of multiple segments, each representing a different expression of the function over specific intervals of the x-axis.

What does it mean for a piecewise function to have 'pieces'?

Back

The 'pieces' of a piecewise function refer to the different segments or expressions that define the function over various intervals of its domain.

How do you determine the number of pieces in a piecewise function?

Back

The number of pieces in a piecewise function is determined by counting the different expressions or formulas that are defined for different intervals of the domain.

What is a domain restriction in a piecewise function?

Back

A domain restriction in a piecewise function specifies the range of x-values for which a particular piece of the function is valid.
