Let's analyze the function f(x) = x + 2⌊x⌋ + √x - 1/|x| to determine its properties.
**1. Natural Domain:**
* **√x:** x ≥ 0
* **1/|x|:** x ≠ 0
* Combining these, the domain is x > 0, or (0, ∞).
**2. Even or Odd:**
* Since the domain is (0, ∞), the function is not symmetric about the y-axis or the origin. Therefore, it cannot be even or odd.
**3. Increasing or Decreasing:**
* **f(x) = x + 2⌊x⌋ + √x - 1/x** (since x > 0, |x| = x)
* Let's analyze the behavior of each term:
* **x:** Increasing
* **2⌊x⌋:** Increasing (step function)
* **√x:** Increasing
* **-1/x:** Increasing
* Since all terms are increasing over the domain (0, ∞), the function f(x) is **increasing** over its domain.
**4. Invertibility:**
* Since the function is strictly increasing over its domain, it is **invertible**.
**Summary:**
* **Domain:** (0, ∞)
* **Neither even nor odd**
* **Invertible:** Yes
* **Increasing:** Yes
* **Decreasing:** No

In your post, some parts of the formula are either incorrect or unreadable.

In his post, @CPhill incorrectly interprets your formula, so, his solution is IRRELEVANT.

I just several times pointed to you that this forum accepts messages only in plain text format.

Therefore, copy-paste of formulas from other sources does not work.

You should print your messages manually, using your keyboard.

Otherwise, your posts will go directly to garbage bins - - -
