Math Problem Statement
Graph this function
Graph this function
Solution
Here is the graph of the piecewise function . The graph consists of three parts:
- The blue line represents for , which decreases steeply as moves further left.
- The green line represents for , showing a steep upward slope.
- The red horizontal line represents for , which is constant.
Would you like a further explanation or have any specific questions about this graph?
Here are 5 related questions you can explore:
- How would the graph change if the coefficient of were different in the first piece?
- What happens if you change the slope of the middle function from to another linear function?
- How can you determine the continuity of this piecewise function?
- How would the domain restrictions on each piece affect the graph if they were altered?
- What are the points of intersection between different parts of the function?
Tip: When analyzing piecewise functions, always check for continuity at the boundary points to determine if the graph has jumps or gaps.
