Hi, Set[] is not Equal[] and so you must write "==" instead of "=" and if you end a sub-itnerval with {-2*x^2 + 8*x - 6, 1 = x <= 3} than the next must start with {x^2 - 10*x + 21, 3 < x <= 7} because x==3 is already defined from the previous interval. Play[Piecewise[{{4.000000000*x^2 - 4.000000000*x, 0 <= x <= 1}, {-2*x^2 + 8*x - 6, 1 < x <= 3}, {x^2 - 10*x + 21, 3 < x <= 7}, {-1/2*x^2 + 11*x - 105/2, 7 < x <= 15}, {.5714285714*x^2 - 21.14285714*x + 188.5714286, 15 < x <= 22}, {-.8000000000*x^2 + 39.20000000*x - 475.2000000, 22 < x <= 27}}], {x, 0, 27}] works fine.
