Understanding Piecewise Functions in Mathematics
Piecewise functions in mathematics are defined by multiple sub-functions, each applying to a specific interval of the main function's domain. These functions are often represented by different pieces or segments, and determining their ranges can involve analyzing various conditions and intervals. Ch
