Chapter 7.1

Evaluating piecewise functions


What You'll Learn

Identify which sub-function to use based on domain intervals
Evaluate piecewise functions by substituting x-values into the correct piece
Interpret domain restrictions using inequality notation and interval notation
Determine outputs when x-values fall on boundary points of domains

What You'll Practice

1

Evaluating piecewise functions with two or three sub-functions

2

Working with domains defined by inequalities and interval notation

3

Handling boundary values and equal signs in domain conditions

4

Calculating outputs using various function types including polynomials and radicals

Why This Matters

Piecewise functions appear throughout calculus, economics, and real-world applications like tax brackets and shipping rates. Mastering how to evaluate them builds your ability to work with functions that change behavior based on different conditions.
