how to sketch a funtion f(x)
1 find the domain of the function (where it exist) 2 find the solutions of the function, solve f(x)=0 3 if it has vertical asyntotes (poles) identify them (eg the denomitator=0) 4 find the intesections with the axis. Solve f(x)=0 (already done in point 2) and f(0)=? 5 do the limit of f(x) to see if the function has horizontal asintotes 6 take the first and second derivative to identify local maxima and minima 7 f(x)>0 can be solved to find where the function is positive and where it is negative Sketching all the identified features on a cartesian plane it is now easy to draw the function

Find the gradient of the curve y = sin(2x) + 3 at the point where x = pi
g(x) = ( x / (x+3) ) + ( 3(2x+1) / (x^2 + x - 6) ). Show that this can be simplified to: g(x) = (x+1) / (x-2).
