       3*x + 1
f(x) = -------
        x - 6 
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6}$$
f = (3*x + 1)/(x - 6)
The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 6$$
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:
$$\frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = - \frac{1}{3}$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = -0.333333333333333$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to (3*x + 1)/(x - 6).
$$\frac{0 \cdot 3 + 1}{-6}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = - \frac{1}{6}$$
The point:
(0, -1/6)
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
$$\frac{3}{x - 6} - \frac{3 x + 1}{\left(x - 6\right)^{2}} = 0$$
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
$$\frac{2 \left(-3 + \frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6}\right)}{\left(x - 6\right)^{2}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
$$x_{1} = 6$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6}\right) = 3$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = 3$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6}\right) = 3$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = 3$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (3*x + 1)/(x - 6), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{3 x + 1}{x \left(x - 6\right)}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{3 x + 1}{x \left(x - 6\right)}\right) = 0$$
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:
$$\frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6} = \frac{1 - 3 x}{- x - 6}$$
- No
$$\frac{3 x + 1}{x - 6} = - \frac{1 - 3 x}{- x - 6}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
