LESSON 1.

PIECEWISE FUNCTION
GENERAL MATHEMATICS
PIECEWISE
A piecewise function is a function that is
defined by two or more equations where each
equation applies to a certain interval over a
specific domain
Given the piecewise-define function

Find f(0) and f(-3)


Find f(0) and f(-3)
Find f(-5) and f(3)
Find f(-5) and f(3)
A user charged P300 monthly for a particular
mobile plan, which includes 100 free text
messages. Messages in excess of 100 are
charged Pl each. Represent the amount a
customer pays each month as a function of
the number of messages m sent in a month.
EXAMPLE
Let t(m) represent the amount of paid by the
consumer each month. It can be expressed by
the piecewise function
A tricycle ride cost P20.00 for the first 1 kilometer, and
each additional per half kilometer adds P5.00 to the fare.
Use a piecewise function to represent the tricycle fare in
terms of the distance d in kilometers

SOLUTION. The input value is distance and the output is the


cost of the tricycle fare. If F(d) represents the fare as a
function of distance, the function can be represented as
follows.
TRY THIS

a. Find f(-5) and f(3)


b. Find f(--3) and f(12)
