#8
Which of the following is the correct definition of a piecewise function?
A function defined by multiple expressions, each applying to a specific interval or set of inputs
ExplanationA piecewise function is defined by different expressions over distinct intervals or sets of inputs.
#9
If f(x) = log₂(x), what is the domain of the function?
(0, ∞)
ExplanationThe logarithm of a positive number is defined, so the domain of this logarithmic function is (0, ∞).
