question 30 points 1

the linear functions which are defined into pieces are called as _________ functions.

piecewise
piecewise-linear

Explanation:

Analyze the definition

The sentence states: "The linear functions which are defined into pieces are called as ________ functions."

Compare the options

• "piecewise" is a general term for any function defined in pieces (which can include non-linear pieces like quadratics).
• "piecewise-linear" specifically describes functions where each individual piece is a linear function.

Select the most precise term

Since the prompt specifically specifies "linear functions" defined in pieces, "piecewise-linear" is the most accurate and complete term to fill in the blank.

Answer:

• piecewise
• piecewise-linear (Correct answer)
