In this video, we look at a very detailed example of how to do curve sketching. I outline all of the steps for you in this somewhat complicated (though typical) example.

Quick References
1:42 Step 1 - determine the domain/symmetry
3:19 Step 2 - determine any asymptotes
6:05 Step 3 - find the first and second derivatives
8:18 Step 4 - find any critical points
9:54 Step 5 - determine the intervals of increasing/decreasing and and max/mins
11:54 Step 6 - determine the concavity and inflection points
13:28 Step 7 - sketch the curve
