       log(1)*(x + 3)    
f(x) = -------------- - 1
             3           
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1$$
f = log(1)*(x + 3)/3 - 1*1
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:
$$\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1 = 0$$
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 log(1)*(x + 3)/3 - 1*1.
$$\left(-1\right) 1 + \frac{\left(0 + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3}$$
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
$$\frac{\log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} = 0$$
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
$$0 = 0$$
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
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1\right) = -1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = -1$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1\right) = -1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = -1$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of log(1)*(x + 3)/3 - 1*1, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1}{x}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1}{x}\right) = 0$$
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:
$$\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1 = \frac{\left(- x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1$$
- No
$$\frac{\left(x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} - 1 = - \frac{\left(- x + 3\right) \log{\left(1 \right)}}{3} + 1$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
