The points at which the function is not precisely defined: x1=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: xx1−log(x)=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 x^((1 - log(x))/x). 001−log(0) The result: f(0)=NaN - the solutions of the equation d'not exist
Extrema of the function

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: xx1−log(x)=(−x)−x1−log(−x) - No xx1−log(x)=−(−x)−x1−log(−x) - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
