Piecewise dened func-ons

2.3

September 04, 2013

Objec-ve:
Students determine the domain and range, evaluate the value of, and graph piecewise dened func-ons. Students will create the deni-on of a piecewise func-on given the graph.

I like to think of this as func-onal mul-ple personality disorder.

September 04, 2013

I like to think of this as func-onal mul-ple personality disorder. The func-on *is* well behaved, and well dened.its just that dierent sec-ons behave dierently!

You might consider these to be bargain func-ons.

two (or more) for the price of one!

Tell me what you see here.

Part parabola, part linear.

When do our two func-ons meet?

September 04, 2013

When do our two func-ons meet?

x = 1

September 04, 2013

When do our two func-ons meet?

x = 1
The function behaves a certain way when x < 1 and a completely different way when x > 1.

September 04, 2013

When x<1, what does the func3on act like?

September 04, 2013

When x<1, what does the func-on act like?

y = x2

September 04, 2013

When x>1, what does the func-on act like?

y = 3 2x.

September 04, 2013

What if x = 1 ? It belongs to one, but not both, of the two pieces. Pick one. I pick the leV one.

September 04, 2013

So when x 1, y = x2. When x > 1, y = 3 2x.
