@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

For piecewise fumctions you use the inequalities to determine which row of the function you use for the given x value

Vocaloid:

Do for x = 0 would this be the top row or the bottom row?

zarkam21:

top

Vocaloid:

Good so f(0) =?

zarkam21:

x^2+x<=1

Vocaloid:

There is no reason to add the functions together

zarkam21:

oh how would I join them

Vocaloid:

We have established that f(x) = x^2 for x = 0 So evaluate f(0)

zarkam21:

x^2

Vocaloid:

What does x^2 equal when x = 0

Vocaloid:

Replace x with 0 and evaluate x^2

Vocaloid:

Anyway I got to go, I can help you with the graphing after class if you're still free

zarkam21:

okay when you are back, we can finish this

Vocaloid:

to graph the function you would just follow the instructions given in part II

Vocaloid:

for example, for IIA it asks you to graph the first function normally (as if it were a normal function not a piecewise function)

Vocaloid:

so graph f(x) = x^2

zarkam21:

okay for number 7 part a

zarkam21:

I would write f(x) = x^2 for x = 0

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

and then for part b

zarkam21:

I would write f(0)=0^2

zarkam21:

?

Vocaloid:

yes but make sure to evaluate what 0^2 is equal to

zarkam21:

0?

zarkam21:

so f(0)=0

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

okay now for the graphing part

zarkam21:

just graph f(x) = x^2

Vocaloid:

yes for part IIA

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

good.

zarkam21:

Now for IIB I would graph f(x)=x<=1

Vocaloid:

you would graph f(x) = 2x + 1

Vocaloid:

since that's the function for the second row

zarkam21:

okay did that.

zarkam21:

now for IIc

Vocaloid:

now you just go back to your graph and erase the parts that aren't included on the domain

Vocaloid:

for example, for f(x) = x^2 for x<=1 you would just erase the graph where x is greater than 1

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

so erase everything except for the black shaded region

Vocaloid:

imagine an imaginary line at x = 1 and erase the graph of x^2 on the right of the line

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510158652567:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510158666325:dw|

zarkam21:

okay

zarkam21:

did that

Vocaloid:

now for 2x + 1 erase the graph where x < 1

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

you want to erase the graph where x is ~~less~~ than 1

zarkam21:

oh okay so the opposite

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

you have the right idea but check the values of your graph

Vocaloid:

for example, when x = 1 x^2 = 1 so the x^2 graph should have a point at (1,1)

Vocaloid:

and when x = 1, 2x+1 = 3 so the graph of 2x+1 should have a point at (1,3)

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510159235424:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1510159243443:dw|

Vocaloid:

the parabola stops at (1,1) and the straight line starts at (1,3)

zarkam21:

@

Vocaloid:

good, that's it for part IIb

zarkam21:

you mean c

zarkam21:

;p

Vocaloid:

yeah

zarkam21:

okay next, the last part

zarkam21:

is to place open and closed circles

Vocaloid:

anyway for part D, any inequality with > or < gets an open circle and >= and <= get closed circles

Vocaloid:

so the parabola gets a closed circle at (1,1) and the line gets an open circle at (1,3)

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

good that's it
