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: 3cot(πx)−1=0 Solve this equation The points of intersection with the axis X:
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 3(cot(πx)−1)32π(−cot2(πx)−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 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 9(cot(πx)−1)322π2(3cot(πx)−cot(πx)−1cot2(πx)+1)(cot2(πx)+1)=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=πacot(43−417) x2=πacot(43+417)
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 −∞,πacot(43+417) Convex at the intervals πacot(43+417),∞
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=x→−∞lim3cot(πx)−1

Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (cot(pi*x) - 1)^(1/3), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo

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: 3cot(πx)−1=3−cot(πx)−1 - No 3cot(πx)−1=−3−cot(πx)−1 - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
