Curve sketching question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i can do every step before dreawing the graph but i have problems actually drawing the graphs so can someone exaplin me step by step what i should do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and sites where i can just practice drawing with all the steps given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what points to put first and what curve to put

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's not really one way to do it. I just start with graphing the asymptotes, max/min points, and inflection points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you used the 1st derivative test to find the extrema, you should have intervals of increase and decrease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It might help if you had an example you want to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have an example but i dont wanto write down every step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could u just explain me what the first step is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put all the intercepts first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you're talking about after you've calculated the intercepts, inflection points, points of extrema, intervals of increase/decrease, and concavity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to figure what you're asking. You know how to find all that stuff, you just need help figuring the shape of the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plot intercepts, extrema points, inflection points, and asymptotes. Then use the shapes in the picture to plot the curve depending on the intervals of increase/decrease and concavity |dw:1432095796324:dw|
