Q
Graphing guidelines
A
- Identify the domain or interval of interest
- Exploit symmetry. For example is x even, f(-x) = f(x) or odd, f(-x)= - f(x)
- Find the first and second derivatives
- Find the critical points and possible inflection points
- Find intervals on which the function is increasing/decreasing and concave up/down
- Identify extreme values and inflection points
- Locate the vertical/horizontal asymtopes
- Find the intercepts
