f(x) = \/ 7 - x  + \/ x - 7 
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7}$$
f = sqrt(7 - x) + sqrt(x - 7)
The graph of the function
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:
$$\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = 7$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = 7$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to sqrt(7 - x) + sqrt(x - 7).
$$\sqrt{7 - 0} + \sqrt{-7}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{7} i$$
The point:
(0, sqrt(7) + i*sqrt(7))
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
$$\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x - 7}} - \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{7 - x}} = 0$$
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
$$- \frac{\frac{1}{\left(x - 7\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}} + \frac{1}{\left(7 - x\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}}{4} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7}\right) = \infty \operatorname{sign}{\left(1 + i \right)}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = \infty \operatorname{sign}{\left(1 + i \right)}$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7}\right) = \infty \operatorname{sign}{\left(1 + i \right)}$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = \infty \operatorname{sign}{\left(1 + i \right)}$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of sqrt(7 - x) + sqrt(x - 7), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7}}{x}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7}}{x}\right) = 0$$
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:
$$\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7} = \sqrt{- x - 7} + \sqrt{x + 7}$$
- No
$$\sqrt{7 - x} + \sqrt{x - 7} = - \sqrt{- x - 7} - \sqrt{x + 7}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
