The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to cot(x - pi/6).
$$\cot{\left(- \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = - \sqrt{3}$$
The point:
(0, -sqrt(3))
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$- \cot^{2}{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} - 1 = 0$$
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
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$- 2 \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right)} + 1\right) \tan{\left(x + \frac{\pi}{3} \right)} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\pi}{3}$$

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
$$\left(-\infty, - \frac{\pi}{3}\right]$$
Convex at the intervals
$$\left[- \frac{\pi}{3}, \infty\right)$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
True

Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = \lim_{x \to -\infty} \cot{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}$$
True

Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = \lim_{x \to \infty} \cot{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of cot(x - pi/6), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
True

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x \lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\cot{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}}{x}\right)$$
True

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = x \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\cot{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}}{x}\right)$$
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:
$$\cot{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} = - \cot{\left(x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}$$
- No
$$\cot{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} = \cot{\left(x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
