The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=1
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: 1−xx+1=0 Solve this equation The points of intersection with 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 sqrt((1 + x)/(1 - x)). 1−01 The result: f(0)=1 The point:
(0, 1)
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+11−xx+1(1−x)(2(1−x)1+2(1−x)2x+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 4(x+1)−x−1x+1(1−x−1x+1)(x+11−x−1x+1−x+12−x−12)=0 Solve this equation The roots of this equation x1=−21 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=1
x→1−lim4(x+1)−x−1x+1(1−x−1x+1)(x+11−x−1x+1−x+12−x−12)=∞ x→1+lim4(x+1)−x−1x+1(1−x−1x+1)(x+11−x−1x+1−x+12−x−12)=∞i - the limits are not equal, so x1=1 - 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 [−21,∞) Convex at the intervals (−∞,−21]
Vertical asymptotes
Have: x1=1
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo x→−∞lim1−xx+1=i Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left: y=i x→∞lim1−xx+1=i Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right: y=i
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of sqrt((1 + x)/(1 - x)), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞limx1−xx+1=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right x→∞limx1−xx+1=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: 1−xx+1=x+11−x - No 1−xx+1=−x+11−x - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
