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: −log(4−x)+2asin(x−3)=0 Solve this equation The points of intersection with the axis X:
Numerical solution x1=3
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0: substitute x = 0 to asin(x - 3)/2 - log(4 - x). −log(4−0)+2asin(−3) The result: f(0)=−log(4)−2asin(3) The point:
(0, -log(4) - asin(3)/2)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation dxdf(x)=0 (the derivative equals zero), and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function: dxdf(x)= the first derivative 4−x1+21−(x−3)21=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 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 (x−4)21+2(1−(x−3)2)23x−3=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=−22533375289+225232159+33375289+2252321+1534
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 −22533375289+225232159+33375289+2252321+1534,∞ Convex at the intervals −∞,−22533375289+225232159+33375289+2252321+1534
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of asin(x - 3)/2 - log(4 - x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
True
Let's take the limit so, inclined asymptote equation on the left: y=xx→−∞lim(x−log(4−x)+2asin(x−3)) x→∞lim(x−log(4−x)+2asin(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: −log(4−x)+2asin(x−3)=−log(x+4)−2asin(x+3) - No −log(4−x)+2asin(x−3)=log(x+4)+2asin(x+3) - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
