	$f + g$ , the pointwise sum of functions
	$f - g$ , the pointwise difference of functions
	$f \cdot g$ , the pointwise product of functions
	None of the above, i.e., they are all guaranteed to be piecewise continuous functions on $[a, b]$
	All of the above, i.e., none of them is guaranteed to be a piecewise continuous function on $[a, b]$

	It is discontinuous at exactly 8 points
	It is discontinuous at at least 8 points
	It is discontinuous at at most 2 points
	It is discontinuous at at least 2 points and at most 8 points
	It may be discontinuous at an arbitrarily large number of points.

	It is discontinuous at exactly 8 points
	It is discontinuous at at least 8 points
	It is discontinuous at at most 8 points
	It is discontinuous at at least 2 points
	It is discontinuous at at most 2 points

	It is continuous and piecewise linear, with (potentially) different piece definitions on the intervals $(- \infty, 0], [0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, \infty)$
	It is continuous and piecewise quadratic, with (potentially) different piece definitions on the intervals $(- \infty, 0], [0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, \infty)$
	It is continuous and linear with a single piece definition
	It is continuous and quadratic with a single piece definition
	It is linear but need not be continuous
