1. Section 2.1.1 Piecewise Functions & Continuity

2. A piecewise function is a function that uses different rules for different parts of its domain.

3. A transition point (or joint point) is the x-value where the function rule changes. Open Circle ? or Closed Circle ?

5. a) Find f(2) b) Evaluate the function for x = 5 c) Find f(3). Evaluate the function for x = 3

6. Calculator method: Separate each expression and use division to represent the domain.

7. Calculator method: Separate each expression and use division to represent the domain.
