Question

Using complete sentences, explain how to graph the following piecewise function:
y = x^2 if x < 1
y = 3x if x(greater than or equal to) 1

Answer 1

just graph it ==?

Answer 2

How would you graph it?

Answer 3

I will just include a certain range... for example -5<x<1

Answer 4

so when x = -5 your y value is 25 rite? since its x^2

Answer 5

but u must remember than its x<1 so u DONT include x=1 meaning u have to draw an open circle at (1,1)

Answer 6

Oh, that makes sense, thanks so much

Answer 7

no problem ;)
