Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information 

For the graph of the function f.

Part (a) of Step 1. Domain and Range

The domain is a set of the numbers x for which the function is defined. Df=-4,4

The range is a set of all the values of the function, Rf=0,3

Part (b) of Step 1. Intercept

To find the intercept, check where the graph of the function f intersects the x-axis and the y--axis.

The intercepts are -1,0, 0,-1, 1,0

Part (c) of Step 1. Is the graph symmetric

To find if the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin check the different values of x, the function has the same value,

-4,3, 4,3-2,1, 2,1-1,0, 1,0

We can notice that the x- coordinate of the corresponding pairs is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, so the f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

Part (d) of Step 1. find f2

To find the value of f2 find the value of the function if x=2

f2=1

Part (e) of Step 1. Value of x if fx=3

As per the graph, we can notice that the solution are:

4,3f4=3-4,3f-4=3

Part (f) of Step 1. Solve 

To find the values of x when the values of the function are less than zero, we have to find where is the graph of the function f under x-axis.

As per the graph x-1,1

Part (g) of Step 1. Graph

If a constant k is added to the function, then there will be a vertical shift in the graph that is k>0.

If k<0 then the graph will move k unit downwards.

As per the question, we add 2 to the given function, therefore the graph will be

Part (h) of Step 1. Graph

To graph y=f-x, we must reflect the graph of f along the y-axis.

The graph of f is symmetrical to the y-axis, therefore, the graph of y=f-x should be the same with f

Part (i) of Step 1.  Graph

If a function is multiplied by a scalar factor k, then it will result to a vertical stretch to the graph of the function

if k>1, the graph is stretched vertically or narrow

If 0<k<1 the graph is compressed or widens.

If, k<0, the graph is stretched and reflected along the x-axis

if the function is multiplied by positive 2, therefore the graph narrows or stretched vertically

The graph of y=2fx is

Part (j) of Step 1. Is f even, odd, or neither 

The even functions are symmetric with respect to the y-axis and the odd functions are symmetric with respect to the origin. As per part (c) we have the graph of the f, is symmetric over the y-axis, so the function f is even.

Part (k) of Step 1. interval(s) on winch f is increasing

If we increase the value of the argument x, the function values rise. So we have to find those z values.

As per the graph, the f is increasing:

x0,4
