This section explains how some functions are split into sections. For different values of x, different functions apply.
Piecewise [ { {val1, cond1}, {val2, cond2}, ...}] represents a piecewise function with values vali in the regions defined by the conditions condi. Piecewise [ { {val1, cond1}, ...}, val] uses default value val if none of the condi apply. The default for val is 0.
Split Functions and Differentiation We met Split Functions before in the Functions and Graphs chapter. A split function is differentiable for all x if it is continuous for all x .
Split functions (or functions defined by cases) actually appear quite often, in particular because the only reasonable way to investigate functions featuring absolute value is to get rid of the absolute value by splitting the expression into two cases (or more, if it features more absolute values).
10 paź 2024 · A polynomial p(x)=sumc_ix^i is said to split over a field K if p(x)=aproduct_(i)(x-alpha_i) where a and alpha_i are in K. Then the polynomial is said to split into linear factors. For example, x^2+1 splits over the field of complex numbers since x^2+1=(x-i)(x+i).

9 lis 2017 · Yes, you can "split" a function; in fact, that's the standard way for computing derivatives algebraically. However, you have to know what to do with the pieces. Some examples (the "addition rule", "product rule", and "chain rule") are. d dx (f(x) + g(x)) = f ′ (x) + g ′ (x)
