Write an equation for the piecewise function over the domain

when x is less than 2, it gives x2,

when x is exactly 2 it gives 6

when x is more than 2 and less than or equal to 6 it gives the line 10-x

It looks like this:

Piecewise Function

(a solid dot means "including",

an open dot means "not including")

And this is how we write it:

Piecewise Function

The Domain (all the values that can go into the function) is all Real Numbers up to and including 6, which we can write like this:

Dom(f) = (-∞, 6] (using Interval Notation)

Dom(f) = {x member of Reals | x ≤ 6} (using Set Builder Notation)

And here are some example values:

XY

−416

−24

00

11

26

37

Example: Here is another piecewise function:

continuous jump fn h(x) = 2 if x<=1, x if x>1

which looks like:  continuous jump graph h(x)

What is h(−1)?

x is ≤ 1, so we use h(x) = 2, so h(−1) = 2

What is h(1)?

x is ≤ 1, so we use h(x) = 2, so h(1) = 2

What is h(4)?

x is > 1, so we use h(x) = x, so h(4) = 4

Piecewise functions let us make functions that do anything we want!

Example: A Doctor's fee is based on the length of time.

Up to 6 minutes costs $50

Over 6 and up to 15 minutes costs $80

Over 15 minutes costs $80 plus $5 per minute above 15 minutes

Which we can write like this:

function piecewise f(t)=50 if t<=6, 80 if t>6 and t<=15, 80 + 5(t-15) if t>15

You visit for 12 minutes, what is the fee? $80

You visit for 20 minutes, what is the fee? $80+$5(20-15) = $105

The Absolute Value Function

The Absolute Value Function is a famous Piecewise Function.

It has two pieces:

below zero: -x

from 0 onwards: x

Absolute Value function

f(x) = |x|

Absolute Value function

The Floor Function

The Floor Function is a very special piecewise function. It has an infinite number of pieces:

Floor function

The Floor Function

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
