I tried just graphing it, but I can't figure out how the function gives the graph, so I can't get the min/max values. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The picture IS the graph. The minimum value is right there for all to see. But you don't even need the picture. Since the absolute value function ALWAYS produces a non-negative result, the smallest value the absolute value part of your function can assume is zero. Then since 4 is always 4, what do you suppose is the minimum value?
As for the maximum value, is there any uppper limit on the value of the function?
