What is a piecewise function?
What is a piecewise function?
- A function with sub-functions that overlap in the domain
- A function with no sub-functions, only interval notation
- A function with multiple sub-functions, each applying to a different interval in the domain (correct)
- A function with only one sub-function applying to the entire domain
What is the main requirement for the subdomains in a piecewise function?
What is the main requirement for the subdomains in a piecewise function?
- They must be infinite and unbounded
- They must overlap to ensure continuity
- They must be pairwise disjoint and cover the whole domain (correct)
- They must be continuous and bounded
How are piecewise functions typically defined using functional notation?
How are piecewise functions typically defined using functional notation?
- As a series of conditional statements
- As a single function with multiple expressions
- As an array of functions and associated subdomains (correct)
- As a single expression for the entire domain
