Math Problem Statement

draw this Piecewise function

Draw this piecewise function.

Solution

The piecewise function you've provided can be described as:

\begin{cases} x^2 - 1 & \text{for } x < 0 \\ -x + 2 & \text{for } 0 \leq x < 2 \\ 2 & \text{for } x \geq 2 \end{cases}$$ Let me know if you'd like to graph this function or have any further clarifications! --- Would you like a detailed explanation of this function, or any specific part of it? Here are five related questions for further exploration: 1. How do you determine the continuity of this piecewise function at $$x = 0$$ and $$x = 2$$? 2. What is the derivative of this function in each interval? 3. How do you graph piecewise functions? 4. How can you check for differentiability at $$x = 0$$ and $$x = 2$$? 5. What are the real-world applications of piecewise functions? **Tip:** Always ensure that piecewise functions match up at their boundaries to check for continuity.
