In the second example, which section does the value 2 fall into?

• x < -2

• x = 2

• x > -2 and x < 2

• x ≥ 2

Why is the second example tricky when determining the section for the value 2?

• Because 2 is greater than 2

• Because 2 appears in both the second and third sections

• Because 2 is not in any section

• Because 2 is less than -2

What is the value of f(2) in the second example?

• -4

• -2

• 4

• 2

What is the key difference between the second and third sections in the second example?

• The second section is for x ≤ 2, and the third section is for x > 2

• The second section is for x = 2, and the third section is for x > 2

• The second section is for x > 2, and the third section is for x ≤ 2

• The second section is for x < 2, and the third section is for x ≥ 2
