8. (Piecewise functions) Since each piece of a piecewise function is only graphed for part of the domain, we usually don't get the whole shape for each piece. Show what each shape looks like when it is cut off by the given domain. Make sure to determine if endpoints should be open circles or closed circles. The first and last are done for you as examples. a) y = (x + 2)², if x < -2 b) y = x, if - 2 ≤ x < 2 c) y = √x-1, if x ≥ 2
