The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=0
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: xx2(x+3)log(x)−3=0 Solve this equation Solution is not found, it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0: substitute x = 0 to 2*log(x)*(x + 3)/(x*x) - 1*3. (−1)3+0⋅02⋅(0+3)log(0) The result: f(0)=∞~ sof doesn't intersect Y
Inflection points
Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this dx2d2f(x)=0 (the second derivative equals zero), the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph: dx2d2f(x)= the second derivative x32(−4log(x)+x6(x+3)log(x)+2−x5(x+3))=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=43847.5905884662 x2=53841.952602536 x3=31502.6420619197 x4=34886.2640297897 x5=52735.3601050521 x6=33759.938295641 x7=2.68147262116116 x8=32632.0827716515 x9=57156.4807890037 x10=30371.5579010177 x11=48299.6168667142 x12=36011.1126055766 x13=40496.6981287632 x14=49410.0091923193 x15=44962.2264158991 x16=50519.4130981396 x17=54947.6556019799 x18=47188.2084874369 x19=37134.5340105345 x20=46075.7551136742 x21=51627.8549875932 x22=41614.8623757666 x23=39377.2828114816 x24=38256.5757166382 x25=42731.8142563409 x26=56052.4912533661 You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function: Points where there is an indetermination: x1=0

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 [2.68147262116116,∞) Convex at the intervals (−∞,2.68147262116116]
Vertical asymptotes
Have: x1=0
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo x→−∞lim(xx2(x+3)log(x)−3)=−3 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left: y=−3 x→∞lim(xx2(x+3)log(x)−3)=−3 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right: y=−3
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of 2*log(x)*(x + 3)/(x*x) - 1*3, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞lim(xxx2(x+3)log(x)−3)=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right x→∞lim(xxx2(x+3)log(x)−3)=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the left
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: xx2(x+3)log(x)−3=−3+x22⋅(−x+3)log(−x) - No xx2(x+3)log(x)−3=3−x22⋅(−x+3)log(−x) - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
