What is a "distance function"?
Whatever, the written equation seems wrong, otherwise it would simply mean |0|<2, which would be a correct statement but not likely what you were really given.

,
two critical values are 0 and 1. Check the three intervals which these two values create.

, TRUE.

, TRUE.

The given inequality seems to be true for all x values BUT .
