  • In quadrant 2 the curve falls sharply to cross the x axis at point (negative 1 comma 0).
  • In quadrant 3 the curve falls sharply to cross the y axis at point (0 comma negative 5.5).
  • In quadrant 4:
    • The curve falls gradually to a relative minimum at point (1 comma negative 7).
    • The curve rises sharply to cross the x axis at point (4 comma 0).
  • In quadrant 1:
    • The curve rises sharply to a relative maximum at point (5.5 comma 3).
    • The curve falls sharply to cross the x axis at point (7 comma 0).
  • In quadrant 4 the curve falls sharply.
