Question

How would you graph this piecewise function

f(x) = x^2 if lxl < or equal to 1
1 if lxl > 1

Thanks Very Much!

Answer 1

It looks like a table top with a dip in the middle

|x| <= 1 if -1<=x<=1
that's a small piece of the parabola, vertex at (0,0)

Now draw lines outward in both directions at y=1.
