The solution

You have entered [src]
f(x) = |2*x - 3| + x + 4
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4$$
f = x + |2*x - 3| + 4
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:
$$\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4 = 0$$
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 |2*x - 3| + x + 4.
$$\left|{-3 + 0 \cdot 2}\right| + 4$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = 7$$
The point:
(0, 7)
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
$$2 \operatorname{sign}{\left(2 x - 3 \right)} + 1 = 0$$
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
$$8 \delta\left(2 x - 3\right) = 0$$
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
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4\right) = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4\right) = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of |2*x - 3| + x + 4, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4}{x}\right) = -1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = - x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4}{x}\right) = 3$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = 3 x$$
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:
$$\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4 = - x + \left|{2 x + 3}\right| + 4$$
- No
$$\left(x + \left|{2 x - 3}\right|\right) + 4 = x - \left|{2 x + 3}\right| - 4$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
