\

The function is \"\".

\

(A)

\

Domain :

\

The function is \"\".

\

All possible values of \"\" is the domain of the function.

\

The function \"\" is a polynomial function hence it is continuous for all the points.

\

Therefore the domain of the function \"\" is the set of all real numbers.

\

The domain of the function \"\" is \"\".

\

\

(B)

\

Intercepts :

\

To find the \"\"-intercepts, substitute \"\" in the function.

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the \"\"-intercept is \"\".

\

To find the \"\"-intercepts, substitute \"\" in the function.

\

\"\"

\

The solution of \"\" are \"\".

\

Here imaginary roots are not considered.

\

Therefore the \"\"-intercept is \"\".

\

\

(C)

\

Symmetry :

\

Substitute \"\" in the function.

\

\"\"

\

Here \"\"

\

Therefore the function \"\" is neither odd nor even.

\

\

(D)

\

Asymptotes :

\

There is no vertical asymptotes, since the function is continuous at all real numbers.

\

Horizontal asymptote :

\

\"\"

\

There is no horizontal asymptote.

\

\

(E)

\

Intervals of increase or decrease :

\

The function is \"\".

\

Differentiate \"\" on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Find the critical points.

\

Since \"\" is a polynomial it is continuous at all the point.

\

Thus, the critical points exist when \"\".

\

Equate \"\" to zero.

\

\"\"

\

The critical points are \"\" and \"\".

\

The test intervals are \"\", \"\" and \"\".

\

(F)

\

Local Maximum and Minimum values :

\

The function \"\" has a local minimum at \"\" , because \"\" changes its sign from negative to positive.

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Local minimum is \"\".

\

The function \"\" has a local maximum at \"\", because \"\" changes its sign from positive to negative.

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".
