Key Idea 3.5.1 Curve Sketching
To produce an accurate sketch a given function f, consider the following
steps.
1. Find the domain of f. Generally, we assume that the domain is the
entire real line then find restrictions, such as where a denominator
is 0 or where negatives appear under the radical.
2. Find the critical values of f.
3. Find the possible points of inflection of f.
4. Find the location of any vertical asymptotes of f (usually done in
conjunction with item 1 above).
5. Consider the limits lim f(x) and lim f(x) to determine the end
*4-x
x+x0
behavior of the function.
6. Create a number line that includes all critical points, possible
points of inflection, and locations of vertical asymptotes. For each
interval created, determine whether fis increasing or decreasing,
concave up or down.
7. Evaluate f at each critical point and possible point of inflection.
Plot these points on a set of axes. Connect these points with curves
exhibiting the proper concavity. Sketch asymptotes and x and y
intercepts where applicable.
