Algebra 1 Piecewise

Functions that are made up of distinct "pieces" of other functions defined over different intervals are called

• Absolute Value Functions

• Piecewise Functions

• Exponential Functions

• Quadratic Functions

Is the following a function?

• yes

• no

Find f(2)

• f(2) = 0

• f(2) = 1

• f(2) = 3

• f(2) = 4

What is f(-1)?

• 6

• -2

• sqrt(2)

• DNE

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

Match each domain to its portion of the function

a

b

c

What is the range of the following function?

What is f when x equals 0?

• -5

• 0

• 1/2

• 1
