The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=0
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: xe−x=0 Solve this equation Solution is not found, it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect 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 exp(-sqrt(x))/sqrt(x). 0e−0 The result: f(0)=∞~ sof doesn't intersect Y
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 −2xxe−x−2x23e−x=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 4(x22+xx1+x231+x253)e−x=0 Solve this equation Solutions are not found, maybe, the function has no inflections
Vertical asymptotes
Have: x1=0
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo Limit on the left could not be calculated x→−∞lim(xe−x) x→∞lim(xe−x)=0 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right: y=0
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of exp(-sqrt(x))/sqrt(x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo Limit on the left could not be calculated x→−∞lim(xxe−x) x→∞lim(xxe−x)=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: xe−x=−xe−−x - No xe−x=−−xe−−x - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
