You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, let's draw the graph for $\"f%28x%29+=+2%2Aabs%28x%29\"$ :
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C2%2Aabs%28x%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The domain of the function is simply all of the possible values of the independent variable, that's x.
\n" ); document.write( "You are instructed to focus your attention on that part of the graph that lies between x = -2 and x = 1 ( $\"-2%3C=x%3C=1\"$ ) so when you draw the graph, you can omit the graph for x less than -2 and x greater than 1. I couldn't show this on my drawing. \n" ); document.write( "
