| 2 | f(x) = |x - 2*|x| - 3|
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right|$$

The graph of the function
The points of intersection with the X-axis coordinate
Graph of the function intersects the axis X at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right| = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:
Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = -3$$
$$x_{2} = 3$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = 3$$
$$x_{2} = -3$$
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right| = 0$$

Inflection points
Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$2 \left(4 \left(x - \operatorname{sign}{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2} \delta\left(- x^{2} + 2 \left|{x}\right| + 3\right) + \left(2 \delta\left(x\right) - 1\right) \operatorname{sign}{\left(- x^{2} + 2 \left|{x}\right| + 3 \right)}\right) = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections

Horizontal asymptotes

Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right| = \left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right|$$
- Yes
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right| = - \left|{\left(x^{2} - 2 \left|{x}\right|\right) - 3}\right|$$
- No
so, the function
is
even
