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

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

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

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

Sign Up
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)

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

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
