6 - Homework - Curve Sketching Worksheet

This document provides a curve sketching worksheet with 9 functions to analyze and graph. It asks the student to find key features like the domain, critical points, points of inflection, asymptotes, intervals of increasing/decreasing behavior, and symmetry. It then asks the student to graph each function based on the identified features. Additional questions analyze critical points, points of inflection, and sketching functions that satisfy given conditions.
