Intercepts, Asymptotes, and Extremas... Reply to this Post
Reply with Quote

Good Morning,
I have these two problems that I need to do for homework. I am completely lost on how to do both. Can you please help?

1. Sketch y = (x/x^3)-x^2-3x+1 by finding the intercepts (if possible) and asymptotes (if any), and determine the
extrema using the second derivative; also, find the point(s) of inflection. Label your sketch with the correct
concavity.
2. Sketch y = (x-4)/(x^2+9) by finding the intercepts (if any), asymptotes (if any) and extrema (using the first
derivative test). You are not required to find the point(s) of inflection. Fractions will be involved. Label
your sketch. Note that a curve may pass through its horizontal asymptote.

To get all the answers, just put each equation into the graphing calculator. Besides the graph, you get full tutorial solutions to all the problems you have.

Here is an example.You can solve this in a similar way.

x + 2 = 3x + -1x2 + 5
2 + x = 3x + -1x2 + 5
2 + x = 5 + 3x + -1x2
2 + x = 5 + 3x + -1x2

now solving for variable 'x'.

2 + -5 + x + -3x + x2 = 5 + 3x + -1x2 + -5 + -3x + x2
