What is a piece-wise function?

Back

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

How do you determine the value of a piece-wise function at a specific point?

Back

To determine the value of a piece-wise function at a specific point, identify which interval the point falls into and use the corresponding expression for that interval.

What is the domain of a piece-wise function?

Back

The domain of a piece-wise function is the set of all input values (x-values) for which the function is defined, often specified in intervals.

Front

What is the range of a piece-wise function?

Back

The range of a piece-wise function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

How do you graph a piece-wise function?

Back

To graph a piece-wise function, plot each piece of the function according to its defined interval, ensuring to use open or closed dots as appropriate for the endpoints.

What does it mean for a piece-wise function to be continuous?

Back

A piece-wise function is continuous if there are no breaks, jumps, or holes in the graph at the points where the pieces meet.

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

Back

Endpoints determine whether the function includes or excludes certain values, indicated by closed (included) or open (excluded) dots on the graph.

How do you write a piece-wise function?

Back

A piece-wise function is written using braces to group the different expressions, each associated with its respective interval.

Front

What is the difference between a closed interval and an open interval?

Back

A closed interval includes its endpoints (e.g., [a, b]), while an open interval does not include its endpoints (e.g., (a, b)).
