[coverband]

Homework Statement

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Are we really expected to be able to draw these with just a pen and paper!?

yes, though sketch would be a better term as generally you just want to capture the key behaviour of the curve

start by looking for critical points, behaviour at critical points and asymptotic behaviour
