Evalúe la siguiente función definida por partes para los valores dados de\(x\), y grafique la función:
\(f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc}−2x + 1 & −1 \leq x < 0 \\ x^2 + 2 &0 \leq x \leq 2\end{array} \right.\)
Solución
Para graficar esta función, haz una tabla de soluciones:
Tabla de soluciones para\(f(x) = −2x + 1 \) Dominio\(−1 \leq x < 0\) |
|
\(x\) | \(f(x)\) |
-1 | 3 |
0 | 1 (círculo abierto aquí, 0 no en el dominio) |
Tabla de soluciones para\(f(x) = x^2 + 2\) Dominio\(0 \leq x \leq 2\) |
|
\(x\) | \(f(x)\) |
0 | 2 |
1 | 3 |
2 | 6 |

Evalúe la siguiente función definida por partes para los valores dados de\(x\), y grafique la función:
\(f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc} −x + 1 &x \leq −1 \\ 2 & −1 < x \leq 1 \\ −x + 3 &x > 1 \end{array}\right.\)
Solución
Para graficar esta función, una vez más haga una tabla de soluciones:
Tabla de soluciones para\(f(x) = −x + 1\) Dominio\(x \leq −1\) |
|
\(x\) | \(f(x)\) |
-3 | 4 |
-2 | 3 |
-1 | 2 (círculo cerrado aquí, -1 está en el dominio) |
Tabla de soluciones para\(f(x) = 2\) Dominio\(−1 < x \leq 1\) |
|
\(x\) | \(f(x)\) |
-1 | 2 (círculo abierto rellenado por la función anterior, -1 no en el dominio) |
0 | 2 |
1 | 2 (círculo cerrado aquí, 1 está en el dominio) |
Tabla de soluciones para\(f(x) = −x + 3\) Dominio\(x > 1\) |
|
\(x\) | \(f(x)\) |
1 | 2 (círculo abierto rellenado por la función anterior, 1 no en el dominio) |
2 | 1 |
3 | 0 |

Evaluar las siguientes funciones definidas por partes para los valores dados de x, y graficar las funciones:.
- \ (f (x) =\ left\ {\ begin {array} {cc}
x & x<0\\
2 x+1 &x\ geq 0
\ end {array}\ right.\) - \(g(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc} 4 − x& x < 2\\ 2x − 2 &x \geq 2 \end{array} \right.\)
- \(h(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc} −x − 1 & x < −1 \\ 0& −1 \leq x \leq 1 \\ x + 1 & x > 1 \end{array} \right.\)
