1 1. Piecewise Functions YOU WILL NEED graph paper graphing calculator GOAL Understand, interpret, and graph situations that are described b piecewise functions. LEARN ABOUT the Math A cit parking lot uses the following rules to calculate parking fees: A flat rate of $5. for an amount of time up to and including the first hour A flat rate of $1.5 for an amount of time over 1 h and up to and including h A flat rate of $13 plus $3 per hour for each hour after h? How can ou describe the function for parking fees in terms of the number of hours parked? EXAMPLE 1 Representing the problem using a graphical model Use a graphical model to represent the function for parking fees. Solution Time (h) Parking Fee ($) Create a table of values. 1. Piecewise Functions NEL
2 1. Plot the points in the table of values. Use a solid dot to include a value in an interval. Use an open dot to eclude a value from an interval. Cost ($) Time (h) 5 The domain of this piecewise function is $. The function is linear over the domain, but it is discontinuous at 5, 1, and. There is a solid dot at (, ) and an open dot at (, 5) because the parking fee at h is $.. There is a closed dot at (1, 5) and an open dot at (1, 1.5) because the parking fee at 1 h is $5.. There is a closed dot at (, 1.5) and an open dot at (, 13) because the parking fee at h is $1.5. The last part of the graph continues in a straight line since the rate of change is constant after h. piecewise function a function defined b using two or more rules on two or more intervals; as a result, the graph is made up of two or more pieces of similar or different functions Each part of a piecewise function can be described using a specific equation for the interval of the domain. EXAMPLE Representing the problem using an algebraic model Use an algebraic model to represent the function for parking fees. Solution if 5 if, # 1 if 1, # if. Write the relation for each rule.

The function is discontinuous at 5, 1, and because there is a break in the function at each of these points. Reflecting A. How do ou sketch the graph of a piecewise function? B. How do ou create the algebraic representation of a piecewise function? C. How do ou determine from a graph or from the algebraic representation of a piecewise function if there are an discontinuities? APPLY the Math EXAMPLE 3 Representing a piecewise function using a graph Graph the following piecewise function.,if, f () 5 e 1 3, if $ Solution Create a table of values. f () 5 f () f() f() From the equations given, the graph consists of part of a parabola that opens up and a line that rises from left to right. Both tables include 5 since this is where the description of the function changes. 1. Piecewise Functions NEL
4 1. 1 = f() Plot the points, and draw the graph. A solid dot is placed at (, 7) since 5 is included with f() An open dot is placed at (, ) since 5 is ecluded from f() 5. f () is discontinuous at 5. EXAMPLE = f () Representing a piecewise function using an algebraic model Determine the algebraic representation of the following piecewise function. Solution 1 f () 5,if #, if. The graph is made up of two pieces. One piece is part of the reciprocal function defined b 5 1 when #. The other piece is a horizontal line defined b 5 when.. The solid dot indicates that point Q, 1 R belongs with the reciprocal function. NEL Chapter 1 9
5 EXAMPLE 5 Reasoning about the continuit of a piecewise function Is this function continuous at the points where it is pieced together? Eplain. 1 1, if # g() 5 1 1, if,, 3, if $ 3 Solution The function is continuous at the points where it is pieced together if the functions being joined have the same -values at these points. Calculate the values of the function at 5 using the relevant equations: () Calculate the values of the function at 5 3 using the relevant equations: (3) The function is discontinuous, since there is a break in the graph at 5 3. The graph is made up of three pieces. One piece is part of an increasing line defined b when #. The second piece is an increasing line defined b when,, 3. The third piece is part of a parabola that opens down, defined b 5 when $ 3. The two -values are the same, so the two linear pieces join each other at 5. The two -values are different, so the second linear piece does not join with the parabola at 5 3.

6 1. In Summar Ke Ideas Some functions are represented b two or more pieces. These functions are called piecewise functions. Each piece of a piecewise function is defined for a specific interval in the domain of the function. Need to Know To graph a piecewise function, graph each piece of the function over the given interval. A piecewise function can be either continuous or not. If all the pieces of the function join together at the endpoints of the given intervals, then the function is continuous. Otherwise, it is discontinuous at these values of the domain. CHECK Your Understanding 1. Graph each piecewise function., if, 1 1,if #1 a) f () 5 e d) f () 5 e 3,if $ 1 1, if.1, if, f () 5 e e) 1, if $ 1, if # c) f () 5 e f) f () 5,if, 1,if.,if $ 1. State whether each function in question 1 is continuous or not. If not, state where it is discontinuous. 3. Write the algebraic representation of each piecewise function, using function notation. a) = f () f () 5 e!,if,,if $ = f (). State the domain of each piecewise function in question 3, and comment on the continuit of the function. NEL Chapter 1 51

Write a function that describes Graham s total long-distance charge in terms of the number of long distance minutes he uses in a month. 7. Man income ta sstems are calculated using a tiered method. Under a certain ta law, the first $1 of earnings are subject to a 35% ta; earnings greater than $1 and up to $5 are subject to a 5% ta. An earnings greater than $5 are taed at 55%.
