Piecewise Functions Vocabulary

What is the equation for the piecewise function shown?

• y = 2x

The range of the piecewise function shown is:

a function defined by multiple sub-functions.

• Domain

• Range

• Interval Notation

• Piecewise Function

Piecewise function is functions that consist of ____________ pieces.

• $1020

• $1140

• $840

A ___________________ is a function that can be represented by more than one function, each of which corresponds to a part of the domain. To write it, write the equation and domain for each piece of the function. 

• piecewise function

• equivalent compound inequality

• linear absolute value inequality

• linear absolute value equation

A __________________________ is a function that can be represented by linear functions only, each of which corresponds to a part of the domain.

• quadratic piecewise function

• exponential piecewise function

• linear piecewise function

• complex piecewise function

A __________________ is a discontinuous piecewise function on a given interval whose pieces are disjoint constant functions. The floor and ceiling functions are examples of this kind of function. 

• gap function

• step function

• ramp function

• political function
