SUMMARY

The function f(x) is defined as f(x) = -2x for the interval -π <= x < π and is periodic with a period of 2π, meaning f(x + 2π) = f(x) for all x. To sketch the function over the interval [-4π, 4π], one must first graph f(x) within the primary interval [-π, π) and then replicate this graph for each subsequent interval by applying the periodicity. This results in a series of linear segments that reflect the slope of -2 across the specified range.

PREREQUISITES

Hi, I have been asked the following question but I am having trouble with it. Any help would be appreciated.


The function f (x) is de nfied, on the interval -π <= x < π, as f (x) = -2x
and elsewhere by f(x) = f(x + 2π). Carefully sketch the function
on the interval [-4π; 4π].

Thanks!

Start by sketching the graph on the interval [-pi, pi).

For pi <= x <= 4pi, use the information that f(x + 2pi) = f(x). Do the same for the interval -4pi <= x < -pi.
