Answer to Problem 46E

The piecewise function for the given graph of function is y={12x,2x02x+2,0<x11,1<x3.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The graph of the function is:

  Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, Chapter 1.2, Problem 46E

Calculation:

The graph of the function consists of three straight lines passing through the points (2,1) , (0,0) , (0,2) , (1,0) and (1,1) , (3,1) respectively.

Use the formula for the slope of line that passes through (2,1) and (0,0).

  m=y2y1x2x1=0(1)0(2)=12

The equation of the line passing through the points (2,1) and (0,0).

  yy0=m(xx0)y(1)=12(x(2))y+1=12(x+2)y=12x

So, the equation of the first line is y=12x defined for 2x0.

Use the formula for the slope of line that passes through (0,2) and (1,0).

  m=y2y1x2x1=0210=21=2

The equation of the line passing through the points (0,2) and (1,0).

  yy0=m(xx0)y2=2(x0)y2=2xy=2x+2

So, the equation of the second line is y=2x+2 defined for 0<x1 .

Use the formula for the slope of line that passes through (1,1) and (3,1).

  m=y2y1x2x1=1(1)31=0

The equation of the line passing through the points (1,1) and (3,1).

  yy0=m(xx0)y(1)=0(x1)y+1=0y=1

So, the equation of the third line is y=12x+32 defined for 1<x3.

Therefore, the piecewise function for the given graph of function is y={12x,2x02x+2,0<x11,1<x3.
