x
f(x) = E
$$f{\left(x \right)} = e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}}$$
f = E^(-1/x^2)
The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{1} = 0$$
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:
$$e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
so we need to solve the equation:
$$e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
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
$$\frac{2 e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}}}{x^{3}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),

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
$$\frac{2 \left(-3 + \frac{2}{x^{2}}\right) e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}}}{x^{4}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
$$x_{1} = - \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$$
You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function:
Points where there is an indetermination:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^-}\left(\frac{2 \left(-3 + \frac{2}{x^{2}}\right) e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}}}{x^{4}}\right) = 0$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{2 \left(-3 + \frac{2}{x^{2}}\right) e^{- \frac{1}{x^{2}}}}{x^{4}}\right) = 0$$
- limits are equal, then skip the corresponding point
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
$$\left[- \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}\right]$$
Convex at the intervals
$$\left(-\infty, - \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}\right] \cup \left[\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}, \infty\right)$$
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$

$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
