Question

(see attached image) How to convert the original function into the form of y={ ... ? Especially in the absolute value scenarios. In this case, root 3 -x is matched with x < 0, and root 3 x is x>=0, how do i know which goes by which? Later in this question, it says limx->0- [-1/x^2/3] is negative infinity and limx->0+ of it is positive infinity, how do we know that? Thank you very much!

The given function is:
y = √|x|
The given function can be written as:
√x, x < 0
