Construct a Piecewise Function for a Graph Guidance for Casio ClassPad

Construct a piecewise function for the given graph.

A continuous graph of 4 connected line segments, starting at (0, 0), going to (5, 5), then to (10, 5), to (15, 15) to (20, 16). The horizontal axis is labeled “Time in minutes.” The vertical axis is labeled “Distance in minutes.”Time (Minutes)555101010151515202020252525303030Distance (Miles)555101010151515202020000(5, 5)(5, 5)(5, 5)(10, 5)(10, 5)(10, 5)(15, 15)(15, 15)(15, 15)(20, 16)(20, 16)(20, 16)

Step 1

Click anywhere in ClassPad to bring up the ClassPad menu. Then, select the graphing tool.

Step 2

Select the function tool at the bottom of the graphing window.

Step 3

Begin entering

then click on Math, then 2.

Step 4

Select the piecewise bracket from the TOP row of the menu. 

Step 5

Fill in the piecewise function exactly as it is here. Pay careful attention to versus . Then, click Execute.
