How do you evaluate a piece-wise function?

Back

To evaluate a piece-wise function, determine which interval the input value falls into and then use the corresponding expression to find the output.

What does the notation f(x) mean in piece-wise functions?

Back

f(x) represents the output of the function for a given input x.

Front

What is the significance of the domain in piece-wise functions?

Back

The domain specifies the input values for which the function is defined, often divided into intervals for different expressions.

How do you graph a piece-wise function?

Back

To graph a piece-wise function, plot each segment according to its defined interval and ensure to use open or closed circles to indicate whether endpoints are included.

What is the difference between open and closed intervals?

Back

An open interval (a, b) does not include the endpoints a and b, while a closed interval [a, b] includes both endpoints.

Evaluate f(2) for the piece-wise function: f(x) = { 3x - 6, 3 ≤ x < 6; 0, x < 3 }

Back

f(2) = 0, since 2 is less than 3.

Evaluate f(4) for the piece-wise function: f(x) = { 3x - 6, 3 ≤ x < 6; 0, x < 3 }

Back

f(4) = 3(4) - 6 = 6.

What is the output of f(0) for the piece-wise function: f(x) = { 3x - 6, 3 ≤ x < 6; -3, x < 3 }

Back

f(0) = -3, since 0 is less than 3.
