How to find the absolute value of this function

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-28] [Hit: ]
-(3x^2 - 6) if -√2 -Just choose some points. For x=1, f(x) is 3. For x=0, f(x) would be 6. Just negate all the - signs when youre done plugging in x.......
f(x)=I3x^2-6I
I'm supposed to write it as a piece wise function. help?

solve 3x^2 - 6 = 0
3x^2 = 6
x^2 = 2
x = √2 or x = -√2
If x < -√2, then 3x^2 - 6 > 0.
If -√2 < x < √2, then 3x^2 - 6 < 0.
If x > √2, then 3x^2 - 6 > 0.
Therefore, f(x) =
{ 3x^2 - 6 if x ≤ -√2 or x ≥ √2
-(3x^2 - 6) if -√2 < x < √2 }

Hints:
| g(x) | = g(x) when g(x) ≥ 0
| g(x) | = -g(x) when g(x) < 0
