Piecewise Functions (HSC SSCE Mathematics Advanced): Flashcards

Function using different rules for different domain intervals

Graph with no gaps/jumps; draw without lifting pen

Point where graph is broken

Evaluate each piece at point; same value = continuous

Endpoint included (≤ or ≥)

Endpoint excluded (< or >)

$f(-x) = f(x)$

$f(-x) = -f(x)$

Turning point, intercepts, direction of opening

Identify parts, domains, equations; write complete function
