  1. A Piecewise-Defined Function is: A function defined in pieces for certain x-values EX) Sketch the Piecewise-Defined Function BY HAND For each function, start at the domain and work your way up/down Note: f(x) is not connected at x = 1

  2. EX) Evaluate the piecewise-defined function at x = -1 and x = 0 • Graph the piecewise function on the calculator: • Divide out the domain; the domain acts as a Boolean – as long as it is true the value is 1, and when it is false the value is 0. Therefore, where the calculator tries to graph the function beyond the domain, it attempts to graph the function by 0, which is undefined.

  4. a) Write the function below as a Piecewise-Defined Function b) Sketch the graph by hand c) Find the area of the region bounded by the function and the line y = 5

  5. b) Sketch the graph by hand c) Find the area of the region bounded by the function and the line y = 5 3 3 Split up the region into right triangles and determine the lengths of the legs. A1 A2 3 -2 4 For this particular example, it was not important to perform the step above, however there will be examples in which the lengths of the legs are not as evident. The above process would then be necessary to correctly determine the lengths of the legs or the distance between 2 points.
