| 2 | f(x) = |x - 5*x - 6|
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right|$$

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:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:
Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = -1$$
$$x_{2} = 6$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = 6$$
$$x_{2} = -1$$
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = 0$$

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
$$2 \left(\left(2 x - 5\right)^{2} \delta\left(- x^{2} + 5 x + 6\right) - \operatorname{sign}{\left(- x^{2} + 5 x + 6 \right)}\right) = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$

Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = \infty$$

Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of |x^2 - 5*x - 6|, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right|}{x}\right) = -\infty$$

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:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = \left|{x^{2} + 5 x - 6}\right|$$
- No
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = - \left|{x^{2} + 5 x - 6}\right|$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = \left|{x^{2} + 5 x - 6}\right|$$
- No
$$\left|{\left(x^{2} - 5 x\right) - 6}\right| = - \left|{x^{2} + 5 x - 6}\right|$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
