       2*x  + 13*x + 21
f(x) = ----------------
           2*x + 7     
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{2 x + 7}$$
f = (2*x^2 + 13*x + 21)/(2*x + 7)
The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = -3.5$$
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:
$$\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{2 x + 7} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = -3$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = -3$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to (2*x^2 + 13*x + 21)/(2*x + 7).
$$\frac{\left(2 \cdot 0^{2} + 0 \cdot 13\right) + 21}{0 \cdot 2 + 7}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = 3$$
The point:
(0, 3)
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
$$\frac{4 x + 13}{2 x + 7} - \frac{2 \left(\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21\right)}{\left(2 x + 7\right)^{2}} = 0$$
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
$$\frac{4 \left(1 - \frac{4 x + 13}{2 x + 7} + \frac{2 \left(2 x^{2} + 13 x + 21\right)}{\left(2 x + 7\right)^{2}}\right)}{2 x + 7} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
$$x_{1} = -3.5$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{2 x + 7}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{2 x + 7}\right) = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (2*x^2 + 13*x + 21)/(2*x + 7), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{x \left(2 x + 7\right)}\right) = 1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{x \left(2 x + 7\right)}\right) = 1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = x$$
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:
$$\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{2 x + 7} = \frac{2 x^{2} - 13 x + 21}{7 - 2 x}$$
- No
$$\frac{\left(2 x^{2} + 13 x\right) + 21}{2 x + 7} = - \frac{2 x^{2} - 13 x + 21}{7 - 2 x}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
