This video tutorial covers piecewise functions, explaining their definition and characteristics. It includes examples of graphing piecewise functions with different components, such as linear, absolute value, square root, cube root, and exponential functions. The tutorial also discusses how to determine the domain, range, and end behavior of these functions.

What is a piecewise function?

• A function defined by multiple sub-functions, each applying to a certain interval.

• A function that has no domain.

• A function that is always linear.

• A function defined by a single equation.

How do you determine if a point is an open or closed circle on a graph?

• By the color of the point.

• By the interval notation (less than or equal to, or greater than).

• By the size of the point.

• By the shape of the point.
