The solution

You have entered [src]
f(x) = cos(7*x) + cos(3*x)
f(x)=cos(3x)+cos(7x)f{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)}
f = cos(3*x) + cos(7*x)
The graph of the function
02468-8-6-4-2-10105-5
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:
cos(3x)+cos(7x)=0\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)} = 0
Solve this equation

The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to cos(7*x) + cos(3*x).
cos(07)+cos(03)\cos{\left(0 \cdot 7 \right)} + \cos{\left(0 \cdot 3 \right)}
The result:
f(0)=2f{\left(0 \right)} = 2
The point:
(0, 2)
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
limx(cos(3x)+cos(7x))=2,2\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)}\right) = \left\langle -2, 2\right\rangle
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
y=2,2y = \left\langle -2, 2\right\rangle
limx(cos(3x)+cos(7x))=2,2\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)}\right) = \left\langle -2, 2\right\rangle
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
y=2,2y = \left\langle -2, 2\right\rangle
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of cos(7*x) + cos(3*x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
limx(cos(3x)+cos(7x)x)=0\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)}}{x}\right) = 0
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
limx(cos(3x)+cos(7x)x)=0\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)}}{x}\right) = 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:
cos(3x)+cos(7x)=cos(3x)+cos(7x)\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)} = \cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)}
- Yes
cos(3x)+cos(7x)=cos(3x)cos(7x)\cos{\left(3 x \right)} + \cos{\left(7 x \right)} = - \cos{\left(3 x \right)} - \cos{\left(7 x \right)}
- No
so, the function
is
even
