Math Problem Statement
graph the function. Find the zeros of each function and the x- and y-intercepts of each graph, if any exist. From the graph, determine the domain and range of each function, list the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing or constant, and find the relative and absolute extrema, if they exist. f(x) = |2 − x| / 2 − x
Solution
Here is the graph of the function . It shows the following:
- The function is constant and equals 1 for .
- The function is constant and equals -1 for .
- There is a discontinuity at , where the function is undefined.
Summary:
- Zeros: None.
- X-intercept: None.
- Y-intercept: .
- Domain: .
- Range: .
- Increasing/Decreasing Intervals: Constant on both and .
- Extrema: None (no relative or absolute maxima/minima).
