The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 0$$

The points of intersection with the axis X:
Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = - \frac{e^{\frac{1}{2}}}{1 - e^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$

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
$$\frac{2 \left(1 - \frac{x - 1}{x}\right) \left(- \frac{1}{x - 1} - \frac{1}{x}\right)}{x - 1} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
$$x_{1} = \frac{1}{2}$$
You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function:
Points where there is an indetermination:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^-}\left(\frac{2 \left(1 - \frac{x - 1}{x}\right) \left(- \frac{1}{x - 1} - \frac{1}{x}\right)}{x - 1}\right) = \infty$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{2 \left(1 - \frac{x - 1}{x}\right) \left(- \frac{1}{x - 1} - \frac{1}{x}\right)}{x - 1}\right) = \infty$$
- limits are equal, then skip the corresponding 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
$$\left(-\infty, \frac{1}{2}\right]$$
Convex at the intervals
$$\left[\frac{1}{2}, \infty\right)$$
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$

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:
$$2 \log{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)} + 1 = 2 \log{\left(- \frac{- x - 1}{x} \right)} + 1$$
- No
$$2 \log{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)} + 1 = - 2 \log{\left(- \frac{- x - 1}{x} \right)} - 1$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:

- No
$$2 \log{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)} + 1 = - 2 \log{\left(- \frac{- x - 1}{x} \right)} - 1$$
