Evaluating 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 intervals of its domain.

Front

How do you evaluate a piecewise function?

Back

To evaluate a piecewise function, identify the interval that contains the input value and use the corresponding expression to find the output.

Front

What does it mean if a piecewise function is undefined at a certain point?

Back

If a piecewise function is undefined at a certain point, it means that there is no output value for that input in the function's definition.

Front

What is the domain of a piecewise function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a piecewise function?

Back

The range of a piecewise function is the set of all possible output values (f(x)) that the function can produce.
