Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}\right) = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take the limit

horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}\right) = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,

Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of log(2)*(x - 1), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}}{x}\right) = \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}}{x}\right) = \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = x \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}}{x}\right) = \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}}{x}\right) = \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = x \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
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:
$$\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)} = \left(- x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
- No
$$\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)} = - \left(- x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)} = \left(- x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
- No
$$\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)} = - \left(- x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
