For each problem, find the: x and y intercepts, asymptotes, x-coordinates of the critical points,

open intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, x-coordinates of the inflection
points, open intervals where the function is concave up and concave down, and relative minima
and maxima. Using this information, sketch the graph of the function.
