    This method of learning is so much better than sitting in a live class. It's cheaper, not restricted to a specific time, do not have to commute, can pause & rewind. Additionally your teaching style is great, I really appreciate these videos.

    Holy Moly! Im 53 with a PhD and never really learned this the right way. I wish I had you as my high school teacher. It makes so much sense. Thanks for your dedication!

    I liked the class-room experience of your videos with the students in the background, but this new style to me is way better! also, about to purchase a decal to support, I already passed pre-calculus but watching these videos I'm actually learning & understanding why these things are being done! thanks for everything.

      Same! I’m just watching to see concepts my school brushed over before I start my stem major in a couple of months.

    Somehow I couldn't grasp the idea of finding domain and range and looking at a piecewise graph and making a formula for it. Im watching this to review before my exams and it was very helpful, thank you!

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 *📊 Understanding Piecewise Functions*
    - Piecewise functions consist of multiple defined segments or pieces with specific conditions for each segment.
    - Key points include understanding what piecewise functions are, how they work, their domains, and how to use them.
    01:25 *🔄 Evaluating Piecewise Functions*
    - Piecewise functions involve using specific pieces of the function based on the input's domain.
    - Evaluating piecewise functions entails identifying the domain interval for the input, then using the corresponding piece of the function to compute the output.
    - Each input must have only one output, adhering to the fundamental concept of a function.
    08:36 *📈 Graphing Piecewise Functions*
    - Graphing piecewise functions involves understanding the domain intervals for each segment and graphing them accordingly.
    - The x-axis is separated into intervals based on the domain of each function segment.
    - By plotting each segment within its respective interval, the graph accurately represents the piecewise function's behavior.
    18:05 *📈 Graphing piecewise functions: understanding endpoints and open circles*
    - Understanding the concept of endpoints in piecewise functions.
    - When there is no equal sign, do not include the specific point as an endpoint.
    - Use open circles to represent endpoints that are not included in the function.
    20:25 *📊 Graphing piecewise functions: graphing individual pieces*
    - Separating the domain into intervals and identifying the pieces for each interval.
    - Graphing each piece separately while considering endpoints and boundary values.
    - Understanding the graphical representation of piecewise functions on specific intervals.
    25:31 *🔄 Graphing piecewise functions: continuity and discontinuity*
    - Explaining continuity in piecewise functions and identifying discontinuous points.
    - Understanding how to graph discontinuous functions and the importance of open circles for discontinuous points.
    - Highlighting the difference between continuous and discontinuous piecewise functions.
    37:36 *📈 Graphing Piecewise Functions: Initial Steps*
    - Graphing piecewise functions involves understanding intervals and their domains.
    - Identify the y-axis intercept and slope to plot the function accurately.
    - Utilize boundary values to determine open or closed circles on the graph.
    41:08 *📊 Handling Boundary Values in Piecewise Functions*
    - Even if not explicitly stated, use boundary values to determine points on the graph.
    - When boundary values are excluded (no equals sign), represent them with open circles.
    - With boundary values included (equals sign), represent them with closed circles.
    43:59 *📉 Graphing Piecewise Functions: Putting It All Together*
    - Piecewise functions are composed of segments defined by their domains.
    - Boundary values help determine continuity and the nature of points on the graph.
    - Understanding the interplay between intervals, boundary values, and graphing ensures accuracy in representing piecewise functions.

    So here I am, 12/15. I’m catching up. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy this style of videos where you are talking to the camera instead of the actual students like you did with the calculus playlist.
    Also, you look a lot like Patrick Wilson. I actually Wikipedia-ed him to see if he has a brother who is a math professor! 😂

I needn't look anywhere else for these topics, just completing your series is enough to give me a good understanding. thanks again !!

  • @Trampflick
    @Trampflick 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Only thing I didnt understand is why the slope was over 1: 2x over 1; 3x-2 over 1;-2x-3 over 1. Why is that the slope...why is it over 1. Why is that the slope if. I understand slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)....but why is it only the first x value and why over 1?

    • @frustratedmf54
      @frustratedmf54 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I think this is from equation of line, y = mx + c, so in this case, m=3.
      Now, slope is rise over run, i.e. m=rise/run, where rise=y2-y1 & run=x2-x1.
      We already have m=3 which is nothing but m=3/1, so our rise=3 and run=1, which essentially means that you'll move 3 units up on the y-axis and 1 unit right on x-axis.

    • @JuanPabloMartinez-b8m
      @JuanPabloMartinez-b8m 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@TH-camtrash-w8iWe don't need to find the slope, because the equation for each curve or line is right there where you can see.

  • @krystinasaragos1535

  • @susanshweyeebo2677
    @susanshweyeebo2677 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't understand the last part. Why x+3 didn't use slope? I think (-4,-1) have to go down for -1 and goes right for 1. In other straight line , it used like that. But why not in x+3? Please explain it for me!!!

    • @anthonysummit3098
      @anthonysummit3098 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      think of a function as an mechanical machine (picture something similar to whats inside a clock) now all parts are fixed and they follow a certain pattern every time. Thus, when you plug in a certain number it should only give you one output and not multiple as all the mechanics inside the function are fixed and does not change

    • @paulmaggiar8274

      Think of a calculator. You input 3+5, how many outputs does it give you? Just one, 8. How many inputs can you plug in to get 8? You can plug in many inputs to get 8.
