Math Problem Statement
What is the piecewise function defined as shown in the image, and how can we analyze its behavior?
Solution
The image shows a piecewise function with two cases:
\begin{cases} x - 3 & \text{if } x \leq 2 \\ x^2 - 2x & \text{if } x > 2 \end{cases}$$ Would you like a detailed explanation of how this function behaves, or is there a specific problem you'd like to address related to it? Here are some related questions you could explore: 1. What is the domain and range of this piecewise function? 2. How do you evaluate $$f(x)$$ for a given $$x$$? 3. Can you graph this piecewise function and analyze its continuity at $$x = 2$$? 4. How do you find the derivative of the piecewise function? 5. How does the function behave as $$x$$ approaches 2 from both sides? **Tip:** Always check for continuity and differentiability at the points where the definition of a piecewise function changes.Ask a new question for Free
