First find the domain of the given function and then find where it is increasing and decreasing, and also where it is concave upward and downward. Identify all extreme values and points of inflection. Then sketch the graph of y = f(x).

Step 1
To find the domain of a function, we need to consider any restrictions on the variable x that would make the function undefined. For example, if we have a square root function, the radicand (the expression inside the square root) cannot be negative. ** Show more…
