Step 1
Piecewise functions are functions which are defined by multiple fuction for different disjoint subdomain.
Example : consider signum function, it has domain (,) and is defined as :
Sgn(x)={1 if x<00 if x=01 if x>0
Practical applications in which piecewise function is used :
Example 1 : Taxi fare system - If the distance on the meter is within 1 km than $5 is taken and for further each kilometer $2 is taken. This scenario depicts peicewise nature.
Step 2
Example 2 : The scolarship program - If your annual income is less than $10000 than full scholarship of $1000 will be given otherwise no scholarship will be given. This scenario also have piecewise nature.
