The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 6.28318530717959$$
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:
$$\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}} = 0$$
Solve this equation

The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to sin(x)/(1 - cos(x)).
$$\frac{\sin{\left(0 \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(0 \right)}}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \text{NaN}$$
- the solutions of the equation d'not exist
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2}} = 0$$
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
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$\frac{\left(1 - \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)} + \frac{2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}}{\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1} - \frac{2 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}\right) \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 6.28318530717959$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
True

Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = \lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}\right)$$
True

Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}\right)$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of sin(x)/(1 - cos(x)), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
True

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x \lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x \left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)}\right)$$
True

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = x \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x \left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)}\right)$$
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:
$$\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}} = - \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}$$
- No
$$\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
