1
We consider the function defined by f (x) = x (1−ln(x)) .

Its domain of definition is ]0 ;e [ ∪ ]e ;+∞[.

It is derivable on ]0 ;e [ ∪ ]e ;+∞[.

Its derivative is f 0 (x) = ln x

x2 (ln x−1)2
.

It admits the below limits:

lim f (x) = +∞
x→0
>

lim f (x) = +∞
x→e
<

lim f (x) = −∞
x→e
>

lim f (x) = 0
x→+∞

The equation of its horizontal asymptote is:

y=0

The equations of its vertical asymptotes are:

x=0
