The function f can be equivalently rewritten as: f ( x ) = x + | x | = { 0 ,  if  x 0 2 x ,  if  x > 0 .

Now we represent this function numerically (i.e. using the table of values):

x -2 -1 0 1 3
y 0 0 0 2 6

To get the graph, we only have to connect the points from the table:

54.
We can rewrite f as follows: f ( x ) = | x + 2 | = { ( x + 2 ) , if  x + 2 < 0 x + 2 , if  x + 2 0 = { x 2 , if  x < 2 x + 2 , if  x 2

Now we should represent f numerically:

x -4 -2 0 1
f ( x ) 2 0 2 3

Now we are able to sketch the graph of the function f :

55.
We can rewrite g as a piecewise defined function: g ( t ) = | 1 3 t | = { 1 3 t ,  if  t 1 3 3 t 1 ,  if  t > 1 3

Now we should represent g numerically:

x -2 -1 0 1 3
y 7 4 1 2 8

We can sketch the graph of g by connecting points in the table:

56.
We can rewrite the function f as follows: f ( x ) = | x | x = { 1 ,  if  x > 0 1 ,  if  x < 0

Note that x 0 (since the denominator x cannot be equal to zero). Thus, the function f is defined on the interval ( , 0 ) ( 0 , + ) . We sketch the graph of the function f as follows:

57.
Let’s reformulate the definition of the function f and then represent it numerically: f ( x ) = { | x | ,  if  | x | 1 1 ,  if  | x | > 1 = { 1 ,  if  x < 1 | x | ,  if  1 x 1 1 ,  if  1 < x = { 1 ,  if  x < 1 x ,  if  1 x 0 x ,  if  0 < x 1 1 ,  if  1 < x

x -3 -2 -1 0 0.5 1 2
f ( x ) 1 1 1 0 0.5 1 1

After we connect the points, we get:

58.
g ( x ) = | | x | 1 | = { | x | 1 , if  | x | 1 0 1 | x | , if  | x | 1 < 0 = { | x | 1 ,  if  | x | 1 1 | x | ,  if  | x | < 1 = { | x | 1 ,  if  x 1 1 | x | ,  if  1 < x 1 | x | 1 ,  if  1 < x = { x 1 ,  if  x 1 1 + x ,  if  1 < x 0 1 x ,  if  0 < x < 1 x 1 ,  if  x 1

Now we represent this function numerically:

x -3 -2 0 1 2
f ( x ) 2 1 1 0 1

Now we can sketch the graph of g :
