Ch 22: GACE Math: Piecewise Functions
About This Chapter
GACE Math: Piecewise Functions - Chapter Summary
Verify what you know about working with piecewise functions through this chapter's video lessons. The lessons are complete with examples that you can work through as you pave the way toward passing the GACE Math assessment. This chapter prepares you for any questions that deal with the following:
- Identifying and writing piecewise functions
- Finding the domain of a piecewise function
- Graphing piecewise functions
- Piecewise function translation
The interesting lessons in this chapter aim to illuminate concepts that you've previously studied but may need to reexamine in preparation for taking the GACE Math assessment. Scholarly instructors will coach you through the helpful videos, and they will answer any questions you submit about the material. The quizzes that follow the lessons will test your comprehension of what you've reviewed in this chapter.
1. What are Piecewise Functions?
A piecewise function is a certain type of function that is made up of different parts. This lesson will define and describe piecewise functions and teach you how to identify them and how to write them.
2. How to Find the Domain of Piecewise Functions
The domain of any function is all the values that x can be for that function. Piecewise functions are special functions that have different parts with unique rules for each part. This lesson will show you how to find the domain for piecewise functions.
3. How to Graph Piecewise Functions
Piecewise functions are specific functions that have more than one piece. There is a special trick to graphing these type of functions, which you will learn in this lesson.
4. Translating Piecewise Functions
Piecewise functions are two or more functions that only use part of a domain. If these functions need to be changed, we can translate them without even having to know the equation.
