the function f(x) = jx??2j x2 is unde ned at x = 0 and jx??2j changes sign at x = 2 hence we divide the domain of f(x) in to three intervals (??1; 0) (0; 2) (2;1) f(x) = 8> >: 2??x x2 x 2 (??1; 0) 2??x x2 x 2 (0; 2) x??2 x2 x 2 (2;1) nd the derivative for each of these intervals f0(x) = 8> >: x2??4x x4 x 2 (??1; 0) x2??4x x4 x 2 (0; 2) 4x??x2 x4 x 2 (2;1) . As x4 is always positive determine the sign of numerator in each and hence nd the intervals of mono- tonicity. Increasing in (??1; 0) [ (4;1) Decreasing in (0; 2) [ (2; 4).
