Plotting a piecewise function on Desmos Graphing Calculator is a valuable technique for visualizing and analyzing functions that are defined differently over different intervals. These functions are commonly used in various mathematical and real-world applications and can be easily graphed using Desmos’ user-friendly interface.
To define a piecewise function on Desmos, you can use the “piecewise” function and specify the different expressions for each interval. For example, the following piecewise function defines a function that is equal to x^2 for x less than 0 and equal to x+1 for x greater than or equal to 0:
