SORU:

What are piecewise defined functions?


CEVAP:

Functions, which are represented by different formulas on different subsets of its domain are called piecewise defined functions. We frequently encounter piecewise defined functions in our daily lives. For example, suppose that you will be parking your car in a car park. The car park charges 5 T for the first hour. For every following hour, it charges an extra 1,5 T. How much would you pay if you pick your car during the first hour? How much would you pay 1 hour 40 minutes later? How about 2 hours 15 minutes later?
Here, we have a piecewise defined function. We may define this function in the following way: If x
corresponds to the parking time in hours, we have
