Curve Sketching
1. Symmetry
(i) If powers of y in an equation of curve are all even, then curve is symmetrical about
X axis .

(ii) If powers of x in an equation of curve are all even, then curve is symmetrical about
Y axis .
(iii) When x is replaced by – x and y is replaced by – y , then curve is symmetrical in
opposite quadrant.
(iv) If x and y are interchanged and equation of curve remains unchanged, then curve is
symmetrical about line y x .
2. Nature of Origin
(i) If point 0, 0 satisfies the equation, then curve passes through origin.
(ii) If curve passes through origin, then equate lowest degree term to zero and get equation of
tangent. If there are two tangents, then origin is a double point.
3. Point of Intersection with Axes
(i) Put y 0 and get intersection with X axis , put x 0 and get intersection with Y axis
.
(ii) Now, find equation of tangent at this point i.e. shift origin to the point of intersection and
equate the lowest degree term to zero.
(iii) Find regions where curve does not exists i.e. curve will not exit for those values of
variable when makes the other imaginary or not defined.
4. Asymptotes
(i) Equate coefficient of highest power of x to get asymptote parallel to X axis .
(ii) Similarly equate coefficient of highest power of y to get asymptote parallel to Y axis .

5. The Sign of
dx
dy
Find points at which vanishes or becomes infinite. It gives us the points where tangent
dx
is parallel or perpendicular to the X-axis .
6. Points of Inflexion
d2y d 2x
Put 0 or 0 and solve the resulting equation. If some point of inflexion is
dx 2 dy 2
there, then locate it exactly. Taking in consideration of all above information, we draw an
approximate shape of the curve.
