           log(x)
f(x) = x + ------
             x   
$$f{\left(x \right)} = x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x}$$
f = x + log(x)/x
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 X-axis coordinate
Graph of the function intersects the axis X at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:
$$x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = e^{- \frac{W\left(2\right)}{2}}$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to x + log(x)/x.
$$\frac{\log{\left(0 \right)}}{0}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \tilde{\infty}$$
sof doesn't intersect Y
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
$$1 - \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x^{2}} + \frac{1}{x^{2}} = 0$$
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
$$\frac{2 \log{\left(x \right)} - 3}{x^{3}} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
$$x_{1} = e^{\frac{3}{2}}$$
You also need to calculate the limits of y '' for arguments seeking to indeterminate points of a function:
Points where there is an indetermination:
$$x_{1} = 0$$

$$\lim_{x \to 0^-}\left(\frac{2 \log{\left(x \right)} - 3}{x^{3}}\right) = \infty$$
$$\lim_{x \to 0^+}\left(\frac{2 \log{\left(x \right)} - 3}{x^{3}}\right) = -\infty$$
- the limits are not equal, so
$$x_{1} = 0$$
- is an inflection 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
$$\left[e^{\frac{3}{2}}, \infty\right)$$
Convex at the intervals
$$\left(-\infty, e^{\frac{3}{2}}\right]$$
Vertical asymptotes
Have:
$$x_{1} = 0$$
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = -\infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = \infty$$
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 x + log(x)/x, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x}}{x}\right) = 1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x}}{x}\right) = 1$$
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:
$$x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x} = - x - \frac{\log{\left(- x \right)}}{x}$$
- No
$$x + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{x} = x + \frac{\log{\left(- x \right)}}{x}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
