I can graph a piecewise function using its function rule.

Given the piecewise function shown on the graph to the right, can
you complete the missing information below?
𝑥 + 8, 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 < ______
𝑓(𝑥 ) = {
_______ , 𝑖𝑓 − 3 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ ______

DOMAIN: _________________ RANGE: ______________________

Think of a piecewise function graph as a neighborhood:

A B

A. Which family does


𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔, 𝒊𝒇 − 𝟏𝟏 ≤ 𝒙 ≤ −𝟒
Fence A belong to?
𝒏(𝒙) = { 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒔, 𝒊𝒇 − 𝟒 < 𝒙 ≤ 𝟒
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔, 𝒊𝒇 𝟒 < 𝒙 ≤ 𝟏𝟏
B. Which family does
Fence B belong to?
Every family’s property has a distinct boundary line,
and the properties DO NOT overlap!

1. Graph the piecewise function: Use a table to calculate & organize x and y
values of f(x).
−2𝑥 − 1, 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 ≤ 2
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = {
−𝑥 + 4, 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 > 2

STEP 1: Draw a FENCE between each property in


this neighborhood.

Using the ordered pairs from your table, STEP 2: Choose 3 x-values for each property.
sketch the graph of f(x). One of these values must be on the fence!

• Draw vertical lines at the location of each STEP 3: Draw an OPEN circle next to the fence
FENCE. Remember – the properties in this line on the property that does NOT own the
neighborhood cannot overlap! fence.
• Use open and closed circles to notate which Draw a CLOSED circle next to the fence line on
property owns each fence. the property that DOES own the fence.
• If an Open & Closed Circle go in the same
location, this will look like a CLOSED circle!

DOMAIN OF f(x): RANGE OF f(x): CONTINUOUS OR DISCONTINUOUS?:

2. Graph the piecewise function:

𝑔(𝑥 ) = {𝑥 − 2, 𝑖𝑓 − 2 < 𝑥 < 2
−2𝑥 + 4, 𝑥≥2

DOMAIN: RANGE:

CONTINUOUS OR DISCONTINUOUS?
