A hint to get started

Sketch each curve from its domain, intercepts and asymptotes

Sketch each graph, clearly indicating asymptotes, axial intercepts and coordinates of any turning points.

(a) y=2x3−5x2+x−2y=2x^3-5x^2+x-2.

(b) y=4x2exy=4x^2e^x.

(c) y=ln⁡x/(2x)y=\ln x/(2x).

(d) y=(x2+2x−8)/(x2+2x−3)y=(x^2+2x-8)/(x^2+2x-3).

(e) y=∣2x−x2∣y=|2x-x^2|.

(f) y=(ax+1)/(x−b)y=(ax+1)/(x-b), where (i)−1<a<0,0<b<1; or (ii)a<−1,b>1. What happens if ab+1=0?
