Depending of the exercise, answer all the following questions, using the complete and
correct procedures.
You will answer each question, as you finish a topic related to the question.

Transcribe in the right side the function that you

have to analyze.

1. Restrictions of the function: (6p) 2. Domain of the function: (6p)

3. Coordinates of the intersection(s) 4. Coordinates of the intersection

with x-axis (y=0) (6p) with y-axis (x=0) (6p)

5. Symmetry Is the function Is the function an Is the function without

an even one? odd one? Why? symmetry? Why? (4p)
Why? (4p) (4p)

6. Vertical Procedure with limits to decide the existence of vertical

asymptote asymptote(s). Verify the behavior of the vertical asymptote
from the left and from the right side. (10p)

Is there any
vertical
asymptote?
Yes/No (2p)

How did you If there is a vertical asymptote, (2p)

decide it? (2p) its equation is:
7. Horizontal Procedure with limits to decide the existence of a horizontal
asymptote asymptote to +∞ and to -∞ (10p)
Is there any
horizontal
asymptote?
Yes/No (2p)
If there is a horizontal asymptote, (2p)
How did you
decide it? (2p) its equation is:

8. Gaps Procedure with limits to decide the existence of the gap(s).

If there is a gap, its coordinates are (2p):
9. Could you make a sketch of the graph of the given function, without using
any graphing calculator, only in base of these 8 steps? Do you think it will
be an accurate graph? Why? (16p)
