The function f (x) is de ned, on the interval -π <= x < π

In summary, the domain of the function f(x) is the interval -π to π, the range is not specified and could potentially be any real number, the period is 2π and the function is undefined at the endpoints of the interval -π and π. The function is only defined for values of x that are greater than or equal to -π and less than π.

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.
 

What is the domain of the function f(x)?

The domain of the function f(x) is the set of all possible input values for x. In this case, the domain is the interval -π to π, which means that any value of x between -π and π, including -π and π, can be plugged into the function.

What is the range of the function f(x)?

The range of the function f(x) is the set of all possible output values for y. In this case, the range is not specified, so it could potentially be any real number depending on the function.

What is the period of the function f(x)?

The period of the function f(x) is the length of one complete cycle of the function. In this case, the function has a period of 2π, which means that the function repeats itself every 2π units along the x-axis.

What is the behavior of the function f(x) at the endpoints of the interval?

At the endpoints of the interval, -π and π, the function is undefined. This means that the function does not exist at these points and cannot be evaluated.

What does it mean for the function f(x) to be defined on the interval -π <= x < π?

This means that the function is only defined for values of x that are greater than or equal to -π and less than π. Any values of x outside of this interval cannot be plugged into the function.
