Determine Function Values for a Piecewise Defined Function (Example)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Determine the equation to use in evaluating a piecewise function. Learners watch a video on evaluating a piecewise function. They confirm the equation to use based on the domain and then use substitution to find the value of the function at that point.

Instructional Ideas
  • Provide a different function and have class members evaluate the function from the graph
Classroom Considerations
  • Requires pupils to understand function notation
  • Part of the larger Algebra 1 Mathispower4u video series
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Verifies the output values using a graph of the piecewise function
  • Uses colors to highlight the piece of the function involved based on the input value
Cons
  • None
