This video tutorial introduces piecewise defined functions, explaining their structure and how they are used to represent different rules for different parts of a domain. Using a real-world scenario of Armando's travel, the video demonstrates how to construct and evaluate piecewise functions. It covers the interpretation of graphs, calculation of slopes, and evaluation of function values for specific inputs, providing a comprehensive understanding of piecewise functions.

What is a piecewise defined function?

• A function that is only defined for negative values

• A function that is only defined for positive values

• A function that is defined by multiple rules over different parts of its domain

• A function with a single rule for its entire domain

Why can't we use a single function to graph Armando's trip?

• Because the trip is too short

• Because the trip involves different speeds and stops

• Because the trip is too long

• Because the trip is not linear
