One is made up of constants and one is made up of lines

@elfin epoch Here lemme explain linear
Means
It goes straight diagonally
There's no change in the slope
Piece wise would be if it breaks and the line teleports
OR if it bends up and down while going down
Even if it's still one line, it can still be piecewise and the lines become segments
Linear
Piecewise
elfin epoch
so would this be a good example of a three part piecewise function
elfin epoch
freaking freak man
livid stump
Sorry for late response I was having trouble with math myself 💀
Well don't give up now
Why wouldn't it be lets think you know
elfin epoch
alr
elfin epoch
two
livid stump
Total or by itself
livid stump
✋
elfin epoch
is it 2 by itself?
elfin epoch
so if i just remove the other part it can qualify?
livid stump
Nope
The slope changed
Therefore it's not linear at all
If it isn't a straight line
It isn't linear
elfin epoch
if i take off the < 3 and leave it without a change?
livid stump
I have no clue how to do this I'm ngl
elfin epoch
breh
livid stump
💀
elfin epoch
yeah
livid stump
Dominican?
elfin epoch
hel na
elfin epoch
u good
livid stump
Nah it's piecewise
Like straight up for a fact it is
Like
Linear means f(x)=x
What that is is considered I believe an inverted absolute value function
(Not positive
Which would look sumn like f(x)=-|x|
So like
As a fact it's not no damn linear function 💀
elfin epoch
u right i did invert dat
elfin epoch
aight
livid stump
Look
That shit don't got no hole
That's linear
So yeah there's uh
3 piecewise functins
You was right to begin with 💀
elfin epoch
LMFAO
livid stump
For the wrong reason but shi it works
livid stump
Uh yeah just lmk if you need more help
elfin epoch
bet
livid stump
Just don't ask me
elfin epoch
bet

Whatever the hell this supposed to mean
Cuz I'm like
3 or 4 years past that
💀
I do NOT remember that shit
elfin epoch
thats just to get the lines where theyre supposed to be and not just guess
plug in the x
elfin epoch
also when theres a shift you dont have to do it and just plug in the x
livid stump
Which honestly 🤔 Is prolly easier where you at rn
It gets easier the further you go kinda
Just more comlpicated
livid stump
You basically just gotta
look at this cheat sheet
Look back solve
but it's a lot of basic algebra like you doing rn
livid stump
im learnin sin and co sin
Just remember this
elfin epoch
aint dis physics
livid stump
Sin is odd since it's reflected across the x and y
And it starts at the origin
Goes max
Midline
Minimum
Midline
Cosine starts at max midline minimum midline max
Idek if yalll gonna be doing that
But that's how they work
elfin epoch
betski
livid stump
You'll get into intervals and transformations of sin and cos (If you're in 8-9th grade maths which is linear algebra where I'm from) it'll prolly pop up in like
3 years in precalc
elfin epoch
brother dis aint 8-9th grade math
livid stump
What grade?
elfin epoch
u in pre calc?
livid stump
Yur senior
elfin epoch
dam
elfin epoch
ikik
livid stump
Ok good
You better do them damn mf sat study preps
And practice tests
I got a 990 on my shit
elfin epoch
bruh
livid stump
which is like 190 higher than the literal 0
I failed basically
So now I'm retaking it on december 2nd 🙏
elfin epoch
lmfaoo
livid stump
Ion even care abt getting into a ivy league I just need them scholarships 💀
elfin epoch
frr
