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+1)x1=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 + x)^(1/x). 101 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 (x+1)x1(x(x+1)1−x2log(x+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 x(x+1)x1(−(x+1)21+x(x+11−xlog(x+1))2−x(x+1)2+x22log(x+1))=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=29980.4129184309 x2=46714.933356596 x3=25461.2257552751 x4=47821.3520867522 x5=24326.4600582814 x6=54440.8206019301 x7=35591.3063506813 x8=34472.1244637095 x9=28853.3975120921 x10=48926.8209166782 x11=37825.5858265746 x12=43389.6836739697 x13=27724.5899421305 x14=32229.39409249 x15=50031.3669817923 x16=44499.1301965023 x17=38940.7849760761 x18=31105.7195519117 x19=42279.1627921657 x20=45607.5361227612 x21=53339.7200843891 x22=33351.507260858 x23=52237.7926464356 x24=40054.7526229321 x25=41167.5317686861 x26=51135.0160556731 x27=36709.1092974302 x28=26593.8992266672 x29=55541.1154065021 x30=56640.6247473501 x31=57739.3679767074 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

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(x+1)x1=1 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left: y=1 x→∞lim(x+1)x1=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 + x)^(1/x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞lim(x(x+1)x1)=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right x→∞lim(x(x+1)x1)=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: (x+1)x1=(1−x)−x1 - No (x+1)x1=−(1−x)−x1 - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
