The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = -5$$
$$x_{2} = 5$$
$$x_{1} = -5$$
$$x_{2} = 5$$
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:
$$\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solution is not found,
it's possible that the graph doesn't intersect the axis X
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
$$- \frac{2 x \left(x + 5\right)}{\left(x^{2} - 25\right)^{2}} + \frac{1}{x^{2} - 25} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$

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
$$\frac{2 \left(- 2 x + \left(x + 5\right) \left(\frac{4 x^{2}}{x^{2} - 25} - 1\right)\right)}{\left(x^{2} - 25\right)^{2}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$

Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25}\right) = 0$$

equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = 0$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (x + 5)/(x^2 - 25), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{x + 5}{x \left(x^{2} - 25\right)}\right) = 0$$
Let's take the limit

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:
$$\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25} = \frac{5 - x}{x^{2} - 25}$$
- No
$$\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25} = - \frac{5 - x}{x^{2} - 25}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25} = \frac{5 - x}{x^{2} - 25}$$
- No
$$\frac{x + 5}{x^{2} - 25} = - \frac{5 - x}{x^{2} - 25}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
