Solution

The problem involves analyzing the function f(x)=2x+1x1f(x) = \frac{2x+1}{x-1}.

  1. Type of Function: First, let's determine whether f(x)f(x) is even, odd, or neither.

    • A function is even if f(x)=f(x)f(-x) = f(x).
    • A function is odd if f(x)=f(x)f(-x) = -f(x).
    • If neither condition is met, the function is neither even nor odd.
  2. Asymptotes: Next, we'll look for any vertical or horizontal asymptotes.

    • A vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator is zero, unless the same factor also zeros out the numerator.
    • A horizontal asymptote is determined by the degrees of the numerator and denominator or the behavior of f(x)f(x) as xx approaches infinity or negative infinity.
  3. Graphing: Finally, we'll sketch the graph based on this analysis.

Let's start by identifying if f(x)f(x) is even, odd, or neither:

For even: f(x)=2(x)+1x1=2x+1x1f(-x) = \frac{2(-x) + 1}{-x - 1} = \frac{-2x + 1}{-x - 1} f(x)f(x)f(-x) \neq f(x)

For odd: f(x)=2x+1x1=2x1x+1f(-x) = \frac{-2x + 1}{-x - 1} = \frac{2x - 1}{x + 1} f(x)f(x)f(-x) \neq -f(x)

Thus, f(x)f(x) is neither even nor odd.

For the asymptotes:

  • Vertical asymptote: Set x1=0x - 1 = 0, so x=1x = 1.
  • Horizontal asymptote: Since the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of the leading coefficients: y=21=2y = \frac{2}{1} = 2.

Let's graph this function to visualize it better.
