I’m interested on others responses here. I’ve found some resources that use an array like this:  
[Matrices and other arrays in LaTeX](https://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer/Matrices.html).

I also write/copy questions into platforms like Canvas and this is continually a struggle to make it look neat.

I’ve created things that handle Piecewise Function representation in notes. You’ll find that here: [Piecewise Expressions in Notes | Component Based Approach](https://cl.desmos.com/t/piecewise-expressions-in-notes-component-based-approach/4106)

I’ve also created something for Augmented Matrices, but it’s not ready to be shared just yet. But here’s what it looks like:
