It can depend on which shell environment you are using, but what I use is:
function something
{
# body of routine
}
# call the function

A piecewise function is a function defined by two or more equations. A step functions is a piecewise function defined by a constant value over each part of its domain. You can write absolute value functions and step functions as piecewise functions so they're easier to graph.
A log is just another way to write an exponent. Log functions are used to make some very complicated computations easier.
You can use intercept form to graph and write quadratic functions. y=a(x-p)(x-q) You can also use intercept form to graph and write cubic functions. y=a(x-p)(x-q)(x-r)
Sorry, we don't have access to this program. If you write out a specific question, we can answer it for you.
That means that the functions is made up of different functions - for example, one function for one interval, and another function for a different interval. Such a function is still a legal function - it meets all the requirements of the definition of a "function". However, in the general case, you can't write it as "y = (some expression)", using a single expression at the right.
