Function Given by Graph II

Project ID:

Question: 

After the mathematics class, there was a graph of a linear-to-linear rational function $f$ left on the board.

Students who entered the classroom discussed the properties of this function. Gradually, they agreed on:

  1. The function $f$ is decreasing on $\left(-\infty,3\right)\cup\left(3,\infty\right)$.

  2. The function $f$ is neither odd nor even.

  3. Function $f$ is a one-to-one function.

  4. The range of the function $f$ is all non-zero real numbers.

Did they make any mistakes? If yes, determine where:

Answer 1: 

Yes, at point 1.

Answer 2: 

Yes, at point 2.

Answer 3: 

Yes, at point 3.

Answer 4: 

Yes, at point 4.

Answer 5: 

No, all statements are true.

Correct Answer: 
Answer 1
Hint: 

The given function $f$ is decreasing on the interval $\left(-\infty,3\right)$ and on the interval $\left(3,\infty\right)$. However, it is not decreasing on the union of these intervals. It is sufficient to realize, for example, that, $f\left(2\right) < f\left(4\right)$.
