Given the real function below, you should be able to determine its domain.

The function $\\simplify{{out}}$ is a piecewise function. It is defined on different parts (or pieces) of its domain by different (sub)functions.

\n

\n

In particular, the pieces of the domain are the intervals

\n\n

and their corresponding (sub)functions are given by the expressions

\n\n

\n

In the case of the function $\\simplify{{out}}$ above, each of the (sub)functions are defined for the indicated intervals and so the domain of $\\simplify{{out}}$ are all of those intervals combined. The first and second interval join nicely without a gap unlike the rest and so we have \\[\\text{dom}(\\simplify{{out}})=\\{\\simplify{{inp}}\\in\\mathbb{R}:\\, \\simplify{{inp}}\\leq \\var{b1},\\; \\var{b2}\\leq \\simplify{{inp}}<\\var{b3},\\; \\var{b3}<\\simplify{{inp}}\\leq\\var{b4}, \\text{ or }\\; \\simplify{{inp}}\\ge \\var{b5}\\}.\\]
