Exploring Piecewise and Composite Functions

What is a piecewise function?

• A function that only uses positive numbers.

• A function that is always continuous.

• A function defined by multiple equations over different intervals.

• A function defined by a single equation.

In a piecewise function, what does an open circle on the graph indicate?

• The function has a maximum at that point.

• The value is not included in the function.

• The function is undefined at that point.

How do you find the composition of two functions, f(g(x))?

• Plug the output of g(x) into f(x).

• Subtract g(x) from f(x).

• Multiply the two functions together.

What transformation occurs when f(x) is changed to f(x - c)?

• Shift down by c units

• Shift to the right by c units

• Shift up by c units

• Shift to the left by c units

What happens to the graph of f(x) when it is reflected across the x-axis?

• All positive y-values become negative y-values.

• The graph shifts to the right.

• All positive x-values become negative x-values.

• The graph shifts to the left.

If the original graph is f(x) and we want to move it up by c units, what transformation should we apply?

• f(x + c)

• f(x) + c

• f(x) - c

• f(x - c)
