Warm Up Graph f(x) = 2x + 3 Graph f(x) = -3x + 1 Do the following problems in pencil on the same graph. Warm Up Graph f(x) = 2x + 3 Erase your graph for x less than -1 Graph f(x) = -3x + 1 Erase your graph for x greater than -1
f(x) = 2x + 3 f(x) = -3x + 1
2.7 Piecewise Functions A combination of equations, each corresponding to a part of the domain.
Graph the function. 1.) f(x) = {
{ Graph the function. 1.b) f(x) = Find f(5) Find f(– 1) Find f(– 10)
{ Evaluate the function. 2.) f(x) = Find f(– 20) Find f(– 1.5)
Graph the function. 3.) f(x) = {
Write the equations for the piecewise functions.
Write the equations for the piecewise functions.
Step Functions A graph that resembles a set of stair steps. Greatest Integer Function g(x) = where for every real number, x, g(x) is the greatest integer less than or equal to x. “Round down”
Evaluate. 1.) If f(x) = , find f(-1.2), f(0), f(2/3), f(1.6) 2.) If g(x) = , find g(-2.4), g(0), g(3.7), g(4.2)
