The graph of the function
The domain of the function
The points at which the function is not precisely defined:
$$x_{1} = 2$$
$$x_{1} = 2$$
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:
$$\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:
Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = -1$$
Numerical solution

Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$

and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$\frac{2 x - 1}{x - 2} - \frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}} = 0$$

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
$$\frac{2 \left(1 - \frac{2 x - 1}{x - 2} - \frac{- x^{2} + x + 2}{\left(x - 2\right)^{2}}\right)}{x - 2} = 0$$

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
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2}\right) = -\infty$$

so,
horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2}\right) = \infty$$

Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of (x^2 - x - 2)/(x - 2), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x \left(x - 2\right)}\right) = 1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x \left(x - 2\right)}\right) = 1$$

$$y = x$$
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x \left(x - 2\right)}\right) = 1$$

$$y = x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x \left(x - 2\right)}\right) = 1$$
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:
$$\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2} = \frac{x^{2} + x - 2}{- x - 2}$$
- No
$$\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2} = - \frac{x^{2} + x - 2}{- x - 2}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2} = \frac{x^{2} + x - 2}{- x - 2}$$
- No
$$\frac{\left(x^{2} - x\right) - 2}{x - 2} = - \frac{x^{2} + x - 2}{- x - 2}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
