The solution

You have entered [src]
f(x) = 2*cos(x) + 15*x
$$f{\left(x \right)} = 15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
f = 15*x + 2*cos(x)
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:
$$15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = -0.132170426278227$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to 2*cos(x) + 15*x.
$$0 \cdot 15 + 2 \cos{\left(0 \right)}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = 2$$
The point:
(0, 2)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$15 - 2 \sin{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
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
$$- 2 \cos{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{3 \pi}{2}$$

Сonvexity and concavity intervals:
Let’s find the intervals where the function is convex or concave, for this look at the behaviour of the function at the inflection points:
Concave at the intervals
$$\left[\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right]$$
Convex at the intervals
$$\left(-\infty, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \cup \left[\frac{3 \pi}{2}, \infty\right)$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}\right) = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of 2*cos(x) + 15*x, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = 15$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = 15 x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = 15$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = 15 x$$
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:
$$15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)} = - 15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
$$15 x + 2 \cos{\left(x \right)} = 15 x - 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
