7C - Piecewise functions

Learning intentions:

In this section we will examine:

    • How to understand and piecewise functions

Piecewise functions

A piecewise function (or hybrid function) is a function which is defined by multiple rules over different subsets of the functions domain.

7C - VIDEO EXAMPLE 1:

Graph the following piecewise function over its specified domain:

A piecewise defined function is also known as a hybrid function.

Success criteria:

You will be successful if you can:

    1. Sketch piecewise functions of their specified domain.
    2. Evaluate a piecewise at specific values.
