Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to graph a piecewise function in Desmos, but I’m not quite sure how to do it. The function I’m working with is f(x) = { 2x + 1 if x ≤ 0, 4x - 3 if x > 0 }. I’ve tried entering it as two separate functions, but that doesn’t seem to work. I also tried using the “piecewise” function in Desmos, but I’m not sure how to properly format it. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

f(x)={x<=0:2x+1, 4x-3}
This can be extended to additional pieces, where you have {condition 1:expression 1, condition 2:expression 2, … , “otherwise” expression}

Also if your function gets complicated, use this notation:
f(x) = x + 1 { x < 0 }
and simply add more lines. This makes it easier to read imo
You can also use a combination of min max and ceil functions. I was running into limitations where you couldn’t define a default outer function such as -1 > x > 1. Also trying to add the pieces together resulted in nothing being returned.
The solution I came up with
f(x) = |x| max(min(ceil(|a-x|-b),1),0)
g(x) = x^2 max(min(ceil(b-|a-x|),1,0)
f(x) + g(x)
where a defines the function center and b defines the width.
when a = 0 and b = 1:
f(x) would be -1 > x > 1 and
g(x) would be -1 < x < 1.
You can also remove the absolute value to get ie x>1 or x<1 etc.
