@Fizaaahhh Great question! You're right, 3 > 3 is an invalid statement. However, the reason we plug in 3 to evaluate the point is just so the graphs lines up properly. If you want, you could plug in something really close to 3 like 3.0000001, but you're basically going to get the same answer which is why it's easier if we just use 3 to evaluate it. Also, when graphing our line on the corrdinate plane, we make sure we put an OPEN circle because thats how we show the graph doesnt actually touch or include x = exactly 3, but that it does include all numbers greater than 3. Hope that helps 👍
Hands down the BEST explaination video I've found for these graphs so far! Clear, concise and to the point. Thank you so much! You literally just saved me from failing my Maths final.❤
I’m learning piecewise functions in my Algebra 2 class and i told my teacher i could not figure out how to find the domain and range but you perfectly described it and now i feel more confident about finding the domain and range
Thank you so so much. All the videos from my usual sources only used function rules like this examples middle one. I had no idea what I was doing for ones like x
You're welcome! I try to mix up as many examples as possible, but if there's ever something specific you're looking for, just let me know and I can answer you here in the comment section or even make a video for it 👍
Would I still use the table method if the function had a squared in it? for ex: f(x) ={ (x-4)^(2) + 1; x > 2 or f(x) ={ x^(2) + 1; x > 0 note: ^(2) means the squared sign
Great question! Yes you could still use a table to graph your functions. The only difference is you'd want to use at least 3 points instead of 2 since you have quadratic equations (aka parabolas) and I graphed linear equations (aka straight lines) in this video. The function f(x)=(x-4)^(2) + 1 is in vertex form so we can see that the vertex is at (4,1) The limit of the function is x > 2, so we want to plug in x-values that are bigger than 2. We can use x = 2,4, and 6. Why would we want to use 2? Because that's the limit of your function (x>2) Why use 4? Because that's where the vertex is. Why use 6? Because it's 2 spots away from the vertex, just like x=2 is 2 spots away from the vertex. For f(x)=x^2 + 1, it's kind of in vertex form too so we can see the vertex would be at (0,1). The limit of the function is x > 0, so we want the values we plug in to be greater than zero. We can use x= 0,1, and 2. Why use 0? It's the limit of the function. Why use 1? It's bigger than zero and an easy number to evaluate. Why use 2? It's also bigger than zero and an easy number to evaluate. For some clarification on vertex form you can watch this video: th-cam.com/video/_8cISMjZuj0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W3nCnq1wHCIH9BFx Otherwise I hope that helped but let me know if you still have any questions, good luck! 👍
Watched this video four days ago but I struggle with when to write the range as single and when to write them separately for each function do they have to share a point in each x and y axis together in order to write it as a single range?
Great question! Piecewise functions will always share x coordinates because where one function ends, the next one begins. I'm not sure you have to write the range for each function (unless you're specifically asked to). Generally, writing a single range that covers the whole graph should be good enough 👍
@@Eat_Pi ohh thanks, but sorry I forgot to mention by saying ( writing each range separately) I meant when you use the union method to just combine the ranges that u separately wrote for each function, like I have seen questions they do that and they sometimes write the range as a single one like the one u did in the video for both ( not combining the ranges of each function with the union thingy) so I’m kinda confused on when to use each one.
@@sunflowerflower2796 Oh I see! Well if there's a gap in the range then you should definitely split them up, but if all the functions are connected/overlap (like they do the example I covered in this video) then you should be able to write just a single range for the whole thing. It'd be a good idea to ask your teacher too if they have a preference, but if they don't, then that's how I would determine if I need to write more than 1 range: simply if there's a gap. Hope that clears it up a little! 👍

Hi there! Yes the difference is: domain = x-value limits range = y-value limits Domain: In this example the graph points to the left in the negative x-direction, and points to the bottom right in the positive x-direction. So it covers all x-values so we can say the domain is All Real Numbers or we can write it in interval notation as (-∞,∞) Range: There's no arrows pointing up. The highest part of the whole graph is in the middle where y = 2. Notice there's a closed circle at the highest part (so that means we use a bracket to include this point). The graph on the right side is pointing down and to the right in the negative y-direction. So the highest y-value is 2 and it goes down to negative infinity so we can write it in interval notation as [2,-∞) Hope that helps! 👍
Good question! It's because the biggest y-value is positive 2 and the rest of the y-values are beneath that high point. So all the y-values are smaller than 2, or in other words, *less than* 2 👍
Let me know if you have any questions! it's good to practice the same problem a few times to make sure you understand the process. Otherwise its time to start filling out some job applications 🙏
you should've explained the last part better. If you have to choose something greater than 3, and you chose 3 as well then what's the point of closed and open circle? You should've clarified that instead of going along with 3 and then 4 and explained why you chose them

The range is the limit of the y values, so on this graph we have y-values from positive 2, down to negative infinity. You could write that as: y ≤ 2 or [2, -∞) Both would be valid answers 👍
If x>3, how can we substitute the value 3 along with 4 when its already given x is bigger than 3, its only possible id x> or equal to 3 right? 3:44

What if we don't have two lines that go on forever (in this case) but only one line, what would be the domain in that case?
Good question! It would depend on which direction the line is going. I can give you a better answer if you tell me your specific problem 👍
Can I please get an example of determining if a piecewise relation is a function, please 🙏

🧡🖤
i love you.
I love me too... but I feel strongly about you as well.
what number would i put for the x y table if x < 1
Good question! The x-values you could use for the table could be things like -1, 0, and 1 👍
For -2x+4 if x>3... why would we use the number 3 if it says its GREATER than, not equal to 3?
Great question!
You're right, 3 > 3 is an invalid statement. However, the reason we plug in 3 to evaluate the point is just so the graphs lines up properly. If you want, you could plug in something really close to 3 like 3.0000001, but you're basically going to get the same answer which is why it's easier if we just use 3 to evaluate it.

Hello I got my exam next week can you explain the domain and range part tysm!
Hi there! Yes the difference is:

In this example the graph points to the left in the negative x-direction, and points to the bottom right in the positive x-direction. So it covers all x-values so we can say the domain is All Real Numbers or we can write it in interval notation as (-∞,∞)

So the highest y-value is 2 and it goes down to negative infinity so we can write it in interval notation as [2,-∞)
Hope that helps! 👍
@@Eat_Pi thank you so much!
Why is it less than for the range

The range of the function would be like -(1/0), 3 am I right?
The range is the limit of the y values, so on this graph we have y-values from positive 2, down to negative infinity. You could write that as:
y ≤ 2
or
[2, -∞)
Both would be valid answers 👍
