Evaluating Functions and Piecewise Concepts

This video tutorial explains how to evaluate function values using a piecewise defined function. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the domain for each piece of the function. The video provides examples of evaluating F of -3, F of 2, and F of 1, demonstrating how to choose the correct function rule based on the value of X. Additionally, it includes a graphical representation of the piecewise function, highlighting key points and breaks in the graph.

What is a key aspect to consider when working with piecewise functions?

• The speed of calculation

• The domain for each piece

• The color of the graph

• The type of paper used

In the given piecewise function, which rule applies when x is less than or equal to 1?

• F(x) = 3x + 2

• F(x) = -3x + 2

• F(x) = 2x + 1

• F(x) = x^2 + 1

How do you determine which function rule to use for a given x value?

• By using a calculator

• By flipping a coin

• By checking the domain intervals

• By guessing
