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: $$2 \frac{\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} = 0$$ Solve this equation The points of intersection with 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 2*(log(x - 1)/log(2)). $$2 \frac{\log{\left(-1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}$$ The result: $$f{\left(0 \right)} = \frac{2 i \pi}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}$$ The point:
(0, 2*pi*i/log(2))
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 $$\frac{2}{\left(x - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}} = 0$$ 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 $$- \frac{2}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2} \log{\left(2 \right)}} = 0$$ Solve this equation Solutions are not found, 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 $$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(2 \frac{\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}\right) = \infty$$ Let's take the limit so, horizontal asymptote on the left doesn’t exist $$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(2 \frac{\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}\right) = \infty$$ 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 2*(log(x - 1)/log(2)), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo $$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{2 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{x \log{\left(2 \right)}}\right) = 0$$ Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the right $$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{2 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{x \log{\left(2 \right)}}\right) = 0$$ Let's take the limit so, inclined coincides with the horizontal asymptote on the left
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: $$2 \frac{\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} = \frac{2 \log{\left(- x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}$$ - No $$2 \frac{\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} = - \frac{2 \log{\left(- x - 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}$$ - No so, the function not is neither even, nor odd
