Pre-Cal, Week 13

I learned this week in Pre Calc 11 is how to write absolute value functions in piecewise notation. We already have learned about absolute values (reference back to week 3 blog post for reminder). This week we learned about piecewise notation, and how to understand and write it for a absolute value function.

Piecewise notation is used to describe a function that has different definitions for different parts of the graph. When writing absolute values we use piecewise notation to describe the absolute value of the number.

In the example below follow the steps I take to write a absolute value function in piecewise notation…
