The piecewise function is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(a)

\

All possible values of \"\" for which the function is mathematically correct is the domain of a function.

\

The domain of \"\" is all real numbers.

\

\

(b)

\

Find the intercepts.

\

Find the \"\"-intercepts by substituting \"\".

\

If \"\" then the function is \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in above function.

\

\"\"

\

There is no \"\"-intercept.

\

If \"\" then the function is \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in above function.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"-intercept is \"\".

\

Find the \"\"-intercept by substituting \"\".

\

The function \"\" is not defined at \"\".

\

The function \"\" is defined at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"-intercept is \"\".

 Graph :

\

1). Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2). Plot the points found in the table and connect the plotted points

\

3). Label the intercept points.

(d)

\

All possible values of \"\" is range of a function.

\

Observe the graph: The range of function is all real numbers.

\

The range in interval notation \"\".
