Tutorial for evaluating a piecewise function given three different values

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate piecewise functions by identifying the correct rule to apply based on the input value. It demonstrates the process with examples, including F(-2), F(0), and F(1), and encourages viewers to try evaluating F(3) on their own.

What is the first step in evaluating a piecewise function?

• Calculate the derivative

• Identify the correct rule based on the input value

• Integrate the function

• Graph the function

If the input value is -2, which rule should be applied?

• The rule for values less than -1

• The rule for values equal to 0

• The rule for values less than or equal to 1

• The rule for values greater than 1

What is the result of applying the piecewise function rule to F(0)?

• 7

• 0

• 4

• 9

When calculating F(1), what is the final result?

• 9

• 10

• 7

• 8

What should you do to find F(3) using the piecewise function?

• Use the rule for values less than -1

• Use the rule for values equal to 0

• Use the rule for values greater than 1

• Use the rule for values less than or equal to 1
