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:
$$\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
so we need to solve the equation:

Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = 0$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2}\right) = - \frac{\pi}{2}$$

$$y = - \frac{\pi}{2}$$
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2}\right) = 0$$

Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of acot(x - 1)/2, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2 x}\right) = 0$$

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:
$$\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2} = - \frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x + 1 \right)}}{2}$$
- No
$$\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2} = \frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x + 1 \right)}}{2}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2} = - \frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x + 1 \right)}}{2}$$
- No
$$\frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{2} = \frac{\operatorname{acot}{\left(x + 1 \right)}}{2}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
