Answer

(a) Domain - $[-4, 4]$, Range =$[-1, 3]$ (b) X-Intercepts = $y = f(x) = 0$, Gives $x = -1, 1$ y-intercept at $x = 0$, $y = -1$ (c) Symmetric with respect to y-axis (d) $f(2) = 1$ (e) $x = -4, 4$ (f) $-1 < x < 1$ (j) Even function (k) f is increasing for $x \epsilon [0, 4]$

Work Step by Step

(a) Domain - [-4, 4], Range = [-1, 3] (b) X-Intercepts = $y = f(x) = 0$, Gives $x = -1, 1$ y-intercept at $x = 0$, $y = -1$ (c) Symmetric with respect to y-axis (d) From graph $f(2) = 1$ (e) $f(x) = 3$ for $x = -4, 4$ (f) $f(x) < 0$ From graph $f(x) < 0$ for $-1 < x < 1$ h) Graph of $y = f(-x)$ will be the same (j) Looking at graph we observe $f(-x) = f(x)$ So even function (k) f is increasing for $x \epsilon [0, 4]$
