This document provides guidance on sketching graphs of functions by considering key features such as symmetries, intercepts, extrema, asymptotes, concavity, and inflection points. It then works through an example of sketching the graph of the function f(x) = (2x^2 - 8)/(x^2 - 16). Key steps include finding vertical and horizontal asymptotes, critical points and inflection points, intervals of increase/decrease, and finally sketching the graph.
