Key Concepts

Piecewise Functions

A piecewise function is defined by different expressions over distinct parts of its domain. Each segment of the function applies to a specified interval, making it necessary to consider each part separately when analyzing or graphing the function.

Graphing Piecewise Functions

Graphing a piecewise function involves plotting each separate expression on its corresponding interval. Care must be taken to correctly depict the endpoints by using open or closed circles based on whether the interval includes the endpoint or not.

Domain and Interval Notation

Understanding the intervals in which each piece of the function is defined is crucial. This includes interpreting inequality symbols to determine the correct domain for each expression, which guides both the analytical and graphical treatment of the function.

Continuity and Endpoint Behavior

Examining the continuity of a piecewise function involves checking if the different segments connect smoothly at the boundaries. This requires careful attention to whether endpoints are included or excluded, which can result in jump discontinuities or gaps in the graph.
