We want to find the absolute maximum of f(x) on its domain. For doing that, complete the following steps.
a) (5 points) Find the domain of f.
b) (5 points) Find all intercepts.
c) (10 points) Find horizontal and vertical asymptotes, if any.
d) (20 points) Find the intervals where f is increasing and those where it is decreasing. Identify all local maxima and all local minima, if any.
e) (10 points) Graph y=f(x). You may need some of the following:
f) (5 points) Identify the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum,
if they exist.
