A piece-wise function that has domain of all real numbers and range of [tex][-3, \infty)[/tex] is f(x) = |x| - 3, as:
[tex]|x| - 3 = x - 3, x \geq 0[/tex]
[tex]|x| - 3 = -x - 3, x < 0[/tex]
A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.
One example is the absolute value function, defined as follows:
[tex]|x| = x, x \geq 0[/tex]
[tex]|x| = -x, x < 0[/tex]
The function is defined for all real values, with a range of [tex][0, \infty)[/tex]. Shifting it down 3 units, it will have the desired range, as follows:
[tex]|x| - 3 = x - 3, x \geq 0[/tex]
[tex]|x| - 3 = -x - 3, x < 0[/tex]
