EXAMPLE 1 Try It! Model With a Piecewise-Defined


Function
1. Alani has a summer job as a lifeguard. The function P(x) represents
her weekly earnings. How much will Alani earn if she works:
a. 37 hours? b. 43 hours? 8x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 40
P(x)
{12x −160, x>
=
356 40
296

EXAMPLE 2
Try It! Graph a Piecewise-Defined Function
2. Graph the piecewise-defined function. What are the domain and range?
Over what intervals is the function increasing or decreasing?
⎧ 2x + 5, −6 ≤ x ≤ −2
⎪
3, −4 < x ≤ −1
a. f(x) = ⎨2x 2 − 7, −2 < x < 1
⎪ b. f(x) −x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2
⎩ −4 − x, 1 ≤ x ≤ 3 = {3 − x, 2 < x < 4

A.
Domain: [6,3]
Range: [-7,1]
Increasing: [-6, -2], [0, 1]
Decreasing: (-2, 0) , (1, 3)
B.
Domain: [-4, -1] U [0, 4)
Range: [-2, 1) U {3}
Increasing: none
Decreasing: [0, 2], (2, 4)

THINKING AND REASONING


Communicate and Justify Why is the interval for the domain of the second
piece of the function in Try It! 2a defined using the < symbol rather than
the ≤ symbol?

EXAMPLE 3
Try It! Write a Piecewise-Defined Rule from a Graph
3. What rule defines the function in each of the following graphs?
a. y b. y
8 4
4 2
x x
-8 -4 O 4 8 -4 -2 O 2 4
-4 -2
-8 -4

The graph A is a function because no x-values are repeating.


The graph B is not a function as it doesn't pass the vertical line test, as there are two x values repeating.
