       n + 1
f(n) = -----
         n  
$$f{\left(n \right)} = \frac{n + 1}{n}$$
f = (n + 1)/n
The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$n_{1} = 0$$
The points of intersection with the X-axis coordinate
Graph of the function intersects the axis N at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\frac{n + 1}{n} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis N:

Analytical solution
$$n_{1} = -1$$
Numerical solution
$$n_{1} = -1$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when n equals 0:
substitute n = 0 to (n + 1)/n.
$$\frac{0 + 1}{0}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \tilde{\infty}$$
sof doesn't intersect Y
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d n} f{\left(n \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d n} f{\left(n \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$\frac{1}{n} - \frac{n + 1}{n^{2}} = 0$$
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
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d n^{2}} f{\left(n \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d n^{2}} f{\left(n \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$\frac{2 \left(-1 + \frac{n + 1}{n}\right)}{n^{2}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
$$n_{1} = 0$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at n->+oo and n->-oo
$$\lim_{n \to -\infty}\left(\frac{n + 1}{n}\right) = 1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = 1$$
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{n + 1}{n}\right) = 1$$
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 (n + 1)/n, divided by n at n->+oo and n ->-oo
$$\lim_{n \to -\infty}\left(\frac{n + 1}{n^{2}}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
$$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{n + 1}{n^{2}}\right) = 0$$
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(-n) и f = -f(-n).
So, check:
$$\frac{n + 1}{n} = - \frac{- n + 1}{n}$$
- No
$$\frac{n + 1}{n} = \frac{- n + 1}{n}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
