Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of acot(x) - 3*x, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{- 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = -3$$

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:
$$- 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)} = 3 x - \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
$$- 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)} = - 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$- 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)} = 3 x - \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
$$- 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)} = - 3 x + \operatorname{acot}{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
