The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=3
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: atan(x−3x+2)=0 Solve this equation The points of intersection with 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 atan((x + 2)/(x - 3)). atan(−32) The result: f(0)=−atan(32) The point:
(0, -atan(2/3))
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 1+(x−3)2(x+2)2x−31−(x−3)2x+2=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 −(1+(x−3)2(x+2)2)(x−3)22(1−x−3x+2)(1+(1+(x−3)2(x+2)2)(x−3)(1−x−3x+2)(x+2))=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=21 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=3
x→3−lim−(1+(x−3)2(x+2)2)(x−3)22(1−x−3x+2)(1+(1+(x−3)2(x+2)2)(x−3)(1−x−3x+2)(x+2))=0.08 x→3+lim−(1+(x−3)2(x+2)2)(x−3)22(1−x−3x+2)(1+(1+(x−3)2(x+2)2)(x−3)(1−x−3x+2)(x+2))=0.08 - limits are equal, then skip the corresponding point
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 [21,∞) Convex at the intervals (−∞,21]
Vertical asymptotes
Have: x1=3
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo x→−∞limatan(x−3x+2)=4π Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left: y=4π x→∞limatan(x−3x+2)=4π Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right: y=4π
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of atan((x + 2)/(x - 3)), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞lim(xatan(x−3x+2))=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right x→∞lim(xatan(x−3x+2))=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: atan(x−3x+2)=atan(−x−32−x) - No atan(x−3x+2)=−atan(−x−32−x) - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
