3.6 OVERVIEW OF CURVE SKETCHING
Preliminaries
We begin this section by summarizing the various tests we
should perform on a function when trying to draw a graph
of y = f (x).
Domain: Always determine the domain of f first.
Vertical Asymptotes: For any isolated point not in the
domain of f, check the limit of f (x) as x approaches that
point, to see if there is a vertical asymptote or a jump or
removable discontinuity at that point.
First Derivative Information: Determine where f is
increasing and decreasing, and find any local extrema.

3.6 OVERVIEW OF CURVE SKETCHING
Preliminaries
Vertical Tangent Lines: At any isolated point not in the
domain of f’, but in the domain of f , check the limit of f’(x),
to determine whether there is a vertical tangent line at that
point.
Second Derivative Information: Determine where the graph
is concave up and concave down, and locate any inflection
points.
Horizontal Asymptotes: Check the limit of f (x) as x → ∞ and
as x → −∞.
Intercepts: Locate x- and y-intercepts, if any. If this can’t be
done exactly, then do so approximately (e.g., using Newton’s
method).
