Piecewise FunctionsA piecewise function consists of different function rules for different parts of the domain.

Example 1Graph the following function:

3x if 0 x 2

f(x) 6 if 2 x 4

x 10 if 4 x 6

Absolute-Value Functions

x x if x 0f(x)

x x if x 0

The absolute-value function, denoted by

can be defined as a piecewise function as follows:

f (x) x ,
