The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=2
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: 2−xxe2−x=0 Solve this equation The points of intersection with 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 E^(2 - x)*x/(2 - x). e2−0⋅2−01⋅0 The result: f(0)=0 The point:
(0, 0)
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 −2−xxe2−x+(2−x)2xe2−x+2−xe2−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 x−2(−x−x−22x−(x−2)22x+2+x−22)e2−x=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=−3326+633+3326+6338+34 You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function: Points where there is an indetermination: x1=2

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 [−3326+633+3326+6338+34,∞) Convex at the intervals (−∞,−3326+633+3326+6338+34]
Vertical asymptotes
Have: x1=2
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo x→−∞lim(2−xxe2−x)=−∞ Let's take the limit so, horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist x→∞lim(2−xxe2−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 E^(2 - x)*x/(2 - x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞lim(2−xe2−x)=∞ Let's take the limit so, inclined asymptote on the left doesn’t exist x→∞lim(2−xe2−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: 2−xxe2−x=−x+2xex+2 - No 2−xxe2−x=x+2xex+2 - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
