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.

What is the significance of the domain in piecewise functions?

Back

The domain of a piecewise function specifies the intervals for which each piece of the function is valid.

Front

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

Back

You determine which equation to use by identifying the input value's interval in the piecewise function's domain.
