If $x, y, z$ are non-zero real, what is the range of

$f(x, y, z) = \frac{ |x+y| } { |x| + |y| } + \frac{ |y+z| } { |y| + |z| } + \frac{ |z+x| } { |z| + |x| } ?$

Consider all monic polynomials of the form $f_a(x) = x + a$ . As $a$ ranges over all real numbers, what is the minimum value of $N_a$ , where

$N_a = \max_{x \in [-13, 39] } \lvert f_a(x) \rvert ?$
