- Sketch the graph of a single function that has all of the
following properties:
- Continuous and differentiable everywhere except at \(x=-3\),
where it has a vertical asymptote.
- A horizontal asymptote at \(y=1\).
- An \(x\)-intercept at \(x=-2\).
- A \(y\)-intercept at \(y=4\).
- \(f'(x) \gt 0\) on the intervals \((-\infty,-3)\) and \((-3,2)\).
- \(f'(x) \lt 0\) on the interval \((2,\infty)\).
- \(f''(x) \gt 0\) on the intervals \((-\infty,-3)\) and \((4,\infty)\).
- \(f''(x) \lt 0\) on the interval \((-3,4)\).
- \(f'(2)=0\).
- An inflection point at \((4,3)\).
-
For the function \(\displaystyle f(x)= \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\):
- Find the domain.
- Find the intercepts.
- Determine any symmetries.
- Find any asymptotes.
- Find the intervals on which
\(f\) is increasing or decreasing.
- Find the local maximum and minimum values of
\(f\).
- Find the intervals of concavity and the inflection points.
- Use the information above to sketch the graph.
