Question 26362: How do you do piecewise defined functions??
Answer by uknouluvme89(30)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A piece-wise defined function is when the function f(x) will be a certain equation according to the value of x and the applied conditions. Here's a problem for example:
Evaluate the following function at x= -2, -1, 1, and 3.
f(x) = 6-x if x > 2
f(x) = 3x if x < 2
In other words, f(x) will DISABLED_event_only= 6-x if x is greater than 2. In addition, f(x) will only be 3x, if x is less than 2.
Now, starting with the first value for x which is -2, we see that it is less than 2. As a result the function applied is: f(x) = 3x
If we use, however, the value 3 for x, which is greater than two, the function is 6-x.
I hope you understand!
