Define {x}=xx. That is to say, {x} is the "fractional part" of x. For example, if you were to expand a positive number  as a decimal, {x} is the stuff after the decimal point. For example {32}=0.5 and {π}=0.14159

Now, using the above definition, determine if the function below is increasing, decreasing, even, odd, and/or invertible on its natural domain:


f(x)=x{x}

 

For each property, write inCreasing, Decreasing, Even, Odd, inVertible in that order (alphabetical).

I'm finding the notation really confusing so I am going to change it

 

x=Z+αwhere Z=xand0α<1

 

f(x)=f(Z+α)=Zα

 

f(3.2)= 3-0.2=2.8

f(-3.2)=f(-4+0.8) =-4-0.8 = -4.8

 

So this function certainly isn't even of odd.

It is not continuous either.

The continuous segments are decreasing but I doubt that is valid, the graph as a whole is not decreasing.

 

anyway, that is something for you to think about.

 

Here is the graph
