I'm not even sure where to begin on this one, or how f(x) and g(x) are related...
Let
------{0 if x< 0
------{x if
f(x) = {2-x if
------{0 if x> 2
(excuse the mess, but I've no idea how to do the piecewise functions with math tags.)
a) Find an expression for g(x) similar to the one for f(x), i.e., a piecewise defined function.
b)sketch the graphs of f(x) and g(x) on the same coordinate system.
g(x) is one function that looks like f(x)... it starts at (0,0) and goes to (1,1) and then down to (2,0) and stops. This is the nature of absolute value of a function, notably:
for the domain of x: (0,2)
HINT: start withand then flip it, shift it horizontally, and then vertically
I'm a little confused about the first part, how I know that g(x) is an absolute value function?
Because of the shape of f(x), it basically looks like the karat symbol that is above your six on the keyboard.Quote:

I'm beginning to believe in psychic communication...
Where, in the original post or anywhere else, is g(x) defined??

What do you know about g(x), I see no information on how it is related toQuote:

f(x) in your post.

Whoops, I did cut off the question... sorry about that.
That's probably pretty important, yeesh.
Anyone? I gotta leave for Psych soon, so I won't be around much longer.
By the second fundamental theorem of calculus, ifQuote:
