The five steps and their order
List the five steps in order: discontinuities, ends and easy points; critical points; sign of ; sign of ; combine. Record that step 3 serves as a consistency check, and when step 4 is skipped.
Scaffolding for on
Compute and at the vertical asymptote, , and using , then plot these pieces of the graph.
The single critical point
Derive by the quotient rule, solve for and , and sketch the one shape the scaffolding now allows.
Sign check of on each interval
Use the sign of to confirm is decreasing on and and increasing on , matching the sketch.
