    How do programs draw function graphs?

    Hi there, I was wondering how computer programs such as geogebra or more advanced packages such as mathlab or wolfram plot graphs for functions. Do they calculate values and interpolate? Do they take derivates to determine maxima and turning points? Do they have any other way to somehow...

    How to construct a periodic function ## f ## with period ## 4 ##?

    On the book, it says, "Let ## f ## be defined by ## f(4n)=f(4n+1)=0, f(4n+2)=2 ## and ## f(4n+3)=1 ##, for all integers ## n ##". (Other answers are possible). But I don't understand, how does this work in the problem? I know that it must has something to do with the period, which is ## 4 ## in...

    Can this function still be a constant function?

    So I know that since ##x \in R## that means ##2x## can achieve all possible values on the real number line meaning ##f(x)## is a constant function.
