An absolute-value restriction and a composite range
Functions , and are defined by
for , ,
for , ,
for , .
(i) Give a reason why does not have an inverse.
(ii) State the longest possible interval in the domain of , to which the restriction of would have an inverse. Hence, define in similar form for function restricted to this interval.
(iii) Show that the composite function exists.
(iv) Determine the exact range of function .
