At a piecewise boundary, evaluate the conditions before evaluating either formula. The rule whose inequality includes equality owns the boundary input; the other rule only describes nearby values from its side. The closed and open points on the graph should confirm that same ownership, so use them as a consistency check rather than a separate rule.
