OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

step one: find the domain of each piece, step two: find the equation that describes the interval on each domain step three: combine

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ill give you a different example |dw:1360553796475:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

|dw:1360554027098:dw| the domain for the first piece is 0≤x≤2 the equation for this interval is y=x the domain for the second piece is 2≤x the equation for the second piece is y=2

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

combining \[y=\begin{cases}x&0≤x≤2\\2&2≤x\end{cases}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!! a million times yes!! let me work it out! thank you so much, about to give up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with number 1 on my link above? just to know im doing it right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what have you got so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first one i got \[f(x) = \left\{ 3 ; 0 \le x \le 3\right\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \[\left\{ x ; 3\le x \le 6 \right\}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what did you get for the equation of the second interval , y=x? thats not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i mean y=-x+7 the slope is -1 and the y- intercept would be at y=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that thou/
