Example 2
Here is an elevation-versus-time graph of a person’s motion. Can we describe what the person might have been doing?
PIECEWISE-DEFINED LINEAR FUNCTION: Given non-overlapping intervals on the real number line, a (real) piecewise
linear function is a function from the union of the intervals on the real number line that is defined by (possibly different)
linear functions on each interval.
