How to Evaluate a piecewise function

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate piecewise functions by considering the constraints of each function within the piecewise definition. It demonstrates the process using two examples: evaluating the function for a negative value and for zero. The key is to identify which function to use based on the given constraints and then substitute the value into the appropriate function to find the result.
