The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=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: (x+x2)+3=0 Solve this equation The points of intersection with the axis X:
Numerical solution x1=−2
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0: substitute x = 0 to |x + 2/x + 3|. 02+3 The result: f(0)=∞ sof doesn't intersect Y
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 (1−x22)sign(x+3+x2)=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=−2 x2=2 The values of the extrema at the points:
___ ___
(-\/ 2, 3 - 2*\/ 2 )
___ ___
(\/ 2, 3 + 2*\/ 2 )
Intervals of increase and decrease of the function: Let's find intervals where the function increases and decreases, as well as minima and maxima of the function, for this let's look how the function behaves itself in the extremas and at the slightest deviation from: Minima of the function at points: x1=2 Maxima of the function at points: x1=−2 Decreasing at intervals (−∞,−2]∪[2,∞) Increasing at intervals [−2,2]
Vertical asymptotes
Have: x1=0
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo x→−∞lim(x+x2)+3=∞ Let's take the limit so, horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist x→∞lim(x+x2)+3=∞ 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 |x + 2/x + 3|, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞lim(x(x+x2)+3)=−1 Let's take the limit so, inclined asymptote equation on the left: y=−x x→∞lim(x(x+x2)+3)=1 Let's take the limit so, inclined asymptote equation on the right: y=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: (x+x2)+3=x−3+x2 - No (x+x2)+3=−x−3+x2 - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
