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: ⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=0 Solve this equation Solution is not found, it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect 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 Piecewise((x, 0 = 1), (1, 1 = 1), (0, True)). ⎩⎨⎧010for0=1for1=1otherwise 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 {10for0=1otherwise=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 0=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 x→−∞lim⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=1 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left: y=1 x→∞lim⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=1 Let's take the limit so, equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right: y=1
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of Piecewise((x, 0 = 1), (1, 1 = 1), (0, True)), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo x→−∞limx⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=0 Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right x→∞limx⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=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: ⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=⎩⎨⎧−x10for0=1for1=1otherwise - No ⎩⎨⎧x10for0=1for1=1otherwise=−⎩⎨⎧−x10for0=1for1=1otherwise - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
