Algebra 2 2.7a - Piecewise Functions

An Introduction to piecewise functions. First video in a short series on the topic. From the Algebra 2 course by Derek Owens.

First video on piece wise functions I could understand

Let's face it guys. None of us have a good math teacher that can explain better than helpful teachers on youtube like Derek Owens and khan academy.

A very nice and simple explanation of the Piecewise Function. I like how you didn't talk over our heads and you gave a quick refresher on what a function is at the beginning. Thank you for your excellent videos.

You don't know how much you just helped me out! Thanks man!!!!

[hannahp]

you just made my life so much easer before exams

[klettks]

This was very clear. I can now teach it to my son and LRC students.

[katelynvalles]

Thank you so much! This helps me understand this so much better. My college algebra teacher completely skipped piecewise functions so now I have to learn how to do this myself.

[merisesedai]

This was very clear, but the whole concept would have made much more sense to me if someone had likened this to an IF THEN statement. IF x <= 0 THEN -x +2 and so on.

Thank you very much! 
You explained this ALOT better than my teacher! 

[Joshfrets]

Thank god i found this. My 65 year old teacher made this look so complicated

[Macason]

Thank God, I pulled an all nighter studying most of algebra 2/pre cal just for this test... wish me luck zzz

This is great, it's like Khan Acadamey, but more understandable, faster (Khan Acadamey covers everything I know, and skip things I dont understand :/) and more related to my school's curriculum/HW.

one week of trying to figure this out in class is just making sense in a 6 minute video

[buttertoasty]

real quick can someone can answer me this questions

1.What is a Piecewise Function?
2.What is the notation of a Piecewise function?
3. What do the restrictions given as inequalities do the graph of a Piecewise Function?

[hannahp]

you are even better then my teacher!!!

[rosycheekslolluvu]

U explain well and go at a good pace thanks again :)

[lajibolala]

I have my midterms tomorrow and I found this very helpful! thank you!
