Answer

The absolute maximum is $4$ at $x=-2$, The absolute minimum is $0$ when $x\in(1,2]$

Work Step by Step

Graphing the function (see below), h(x) = the greatest integer $n$ such that $ n\leq (2-x).$ $h(-2)=4$, because $4\leq 2+2$ $h(-1.5)=3$, because $3\leq 2+1.5$ $h(-1)=3$, because $3\leq 2+1$ $...$ $h(1)=1$ because $1\leq 2-1$ $h(1.1)=0$ because $0\leq 2-1.1$ $h(2)=0$ because $0\leq 2-21$ The absolute maximum is $4$ at $x=-2$, The absolute minimum is $0$ when $x\in(1,2]$
