        3      
f(x) = x  + 5*x
f(x)=x3+5xf{\left(x \right)} = x^{3} + 5 x
f = x^3 + 5*x
The graph of the function

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:
x3+5x=0x^{3} + 5 x = 0
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
x1=0x_{1} = 0
Numerical solution
x1=0x_{1} = 0
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to x^3 + 5*x.
03+050^{3} + 0 \cdot 5
The result:
f(0)=0f{\left(0 \right)} = 0
The point:
(0, 0)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
ddxf(x)=0\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:
ddxf(x)=\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} =
the first derivative
3x2+5=03 x^{2} + 5 = 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
d2dx2f(x)=0\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:
d2dx2f(x)=\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} =
the second derivative
6x=06 x = 0
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
x1=0x_{1} = 0

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
[0,)\left[0, \infty\right)
Convex at the intervals
(,0]\left(-\infty, 0\right]
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
limx(x3+5x)=\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(x^{3} + 5 x\right) = -\infty
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
limx(x3+5x)=\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(x^{3} + 5 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^3 + 5*x, divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
limx(x3+5xx)=\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{x^{3} + 5 x}{x}\right) = \infty
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
limx(x3+5xx)=\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x^{3} + 5 x}{x}\right) = \infty
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
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:
x3+5x=x35xx^{3} + 5 x = - x^{3} - 5 x
- No
x3+5x=x3+5xx^{3} + 5 x = x^{3} + 5 x
- Yes
so, the function
is
odd
