FLASHCARD Evaluating Piecewise Functions

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 at a specific point?

Back

To evaluate a piecewise function at a specific point, determine which interval the point falls into and use the corresponding expression to find the function's value.

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 corresponding output value for that input in the function's definition.

Front

What is the significance of the domain in piecewise functions?

Back

The domain of a piecewise function specifies the input values for which the function is defined, and it can consist of multiple intervals.

Front

How do you determine which equation to use in a piecewise function?

Back

To determine which equation to use in a piecewise function, identify the input value and find the corresponding interval in the function's definition.
