3. Piecewise Functions
A piecewise function is a function that has different rules for parts of its domain.
In other words, a piecewise function is made up of different pieces.
Each “piece” is an equation, with its domain written as an inequality.

4. Continuity
A function is called continuous if it has no jumps, breaks, or holes.
You can trace the entirety of a continuous function without lifting your pencil.
Some piecewise functions are continuous, while others are not.
