        -x*0.0004
f(x) = e         
$$f{\left(x \right)} = e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)}$$
f = exp(0.0004*(-x))
The graph of the function
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:
$$e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)} = 0$$
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((-x)*0.0004).
$$e^{0.0004 \left(- 0\right)}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = 1$$
The point:
(0, 1)
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
$$- 0.0004 e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)} = 0$$
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
$$1.6 \cdot 10^{-7} e^{- 0.0004 x} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)} = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)} = 0$$
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((-x)*0.0004), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)}}{x}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)}}{x}\right) = 0$$
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:
$$e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)} = e^{0.0004 x}$$
- No
$$e^{0.0004 \left(- x\right)} = - e^{0.0004 x}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
