        x - 3
f(x) = 9     
f(x)=91x3f{\left(x \right)} = 9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}}
f = 9^(1/(x - 3))
The graph of the function
02468-8-6-4-2-10100500000000000000
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
x1=3x_{1} = 3
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:
91x3=09^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} = 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 9^(1/(x - 3)).
9139^{\frac{1}{-3}}
The result:
f(0)=333f{\left(0 \right)} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{3}}{3}
The point:
(0, 3^(1/3)/3)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
ddxf(x)=0\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:
ddxf(x)=\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} =
the first derivative
91x3log(9)(x3)2=0- \frac{9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} \log{\left(9 \right)}}{\left(x - 3\right)^{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
d2dx2f(x)=0\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:
d2dx2f(x)=\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} =
the second derivative
91x3(2+log(9)x3)log(9)(x3)3=0\frac{9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} \left(2 + \frac{\log{\left(9 \right)}}{x - 3}\right) \log{\left(9 \right)}}{\left(x - 3\right)^{3}} = 0
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
x1=3log(3)x_{1} = 3 - \log{\left(3 \right)}
You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function:
Points where there is an indetermination:
x1=3x_{1} = 3

limx3(91x3(2+log(9)x3)log(9)(x3)3)=0\lim_{x \to 3^-}\left(\frac{9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} \left(2 + \frac{\log{\left(9 \right)}}{x - 3}\right) \log{\left(9 \right)}}{\left(x - 3\right)^{3}}\right) = 0
limx3+(91x3(2+log(9)x3)log(9)(x3)3)=\lim_{x \to 3^+}\left(\frac{9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} \left(2 + \frac{\log{\left(9 \right)}}{x - 3}\right) \log{\left(9 \right)}}{\left(x - 3\right)^{3}}\right) = \infty
- the limits are not equal, so
x1=3x_{1} = 3
- is an inflection point

Сonvexity and concavity intervals:
Let’s find the intervals where the function is convex or concave, for this look at the behaviour of the function at the inflection points:
Concave at the intervals
[3log(3),)\left[3 - \log{\left(3 \right)}, \infty\right)
Convex at the intervals
(,3log(3)]\left(-\infty, 3 - \log{\left(3 \right)}\right]
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
x1=3x_{1} = 3
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
limx91x3=1\lim_{x \to -\infty} 9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} = 1
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
y=1y = 1
limx91x3=1\lim_{x \to \infty} 9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} = 1
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
y=1y = 1
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of 9^(1/(x - 3)), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
limx(91x3x)=0\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}}}{x}\right) = 0
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
limx(91x3x)=0\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{9^{\frac{1}{x - 3}}}{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:
91x3=91x39^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} = 9^{\frac{1}{- x - 3}}
- No
91x3=91x39^{\frac{1}{x - 3}} = - 9^{\frac{1}{- x - 3}}
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
