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: (3x+1)x5=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 (1 + 3*x)^(5/x). (0⋅3+1)05 The result: f(0)=NaN - the solutions of the equation d'not exist
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 (3x+1)x5(x(3x+1)15−x25log(3x+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 dx2d2f(x)=0 (the second derivative equals zero), the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph: dx2d2f(x)= the second derivative x5(3x+1)x5(−(3x+1)29+x5(3x+13−xlog(3x+1))2−x(3x+1)6+x22log(3x+1))=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=43431.2848572218 x2=48599.3491396833 x3=46531.8841755977 x4=47565.5863605614 x5=44464.7178283447 x6=45498.2563494007 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=0
x→0−limx5(3x+1)x5(−(3x+1)29+x5(3x+13−xlog(3x+1))2−x(3x+1)6+x22log(3x+1))=42385e15 x→0+limx5(3x+1)x5(−(3x+1)29+x5(3x+13−xlog(3x+1))2−x(3x+1)6+x22log(3x+1))=42385e15 - limits are equal, then skip the corresponding 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: Have no bends at the whole real axis
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(3x+1)x5=1 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left: y=1 x→∞lim(3x+1)x5=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 (1 + 3*x)^(5/x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞lim(x(3x+1)x5)=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right x→∞lim(x(3x+1)x5)=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: (3x+1)x5=(1−3x)−x5 - No (3x+1)x5=−(1−3x)−x5 - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
