Find the domain of f.Any intercepts which exist and determine

if f is even or odd.

Find all horizontal and vertical asymptotes.

Find the interval(s) on which f is increasing and the interval(s)

where f is decreasing. Find and classify all local extrema of f.

Find the interval(s) on which f is concave up and the interval(s)

where f is concave down. Find the points of inflection, if they exist.

Use this information to sketch the graph of y  fx
