Which piecewise function corresponds to this graph? (Take your time)

• f(x) = { x  if x < 4;   -x+1  if x ≥ 4

• f(x) = { x  if x ≤ 4;  -x+1  if x > 4

• f(x) = { -x+1  if x < 4;  x  if x ≥ 4

• f(x) = { -x+1  if x ≤ 4;  x if x > 4

How are the pieces of a​ piecewise-defined function related to the​ domain? Explain.

• The intervals that are the domains of the pieces make up half the domain of the piecewise function with no overlap.

• The intervals that are the domains of the pieces make up half the domain of the piecewise function with 1 real number overlapping.

• The intervals that are the domains of the pieces make up the entire domain of the piecewise function with 1 real number overlapping.

• The intervals that are the domains of the pieces make up the entire domain of the piecewise function with no overlap.

For a given​ piecewise-defined function, the pieces of the function are defined for intervals of the​ domain, x≤−1 and x>−1. Explain how you could find the​ y-intercept for the function over the intervals x≤−1 and x>−1​? The​ y-intercept is included in the piece of the function that crosses the​ ​ (a)   The piece for the interval ​ (b)
