# Calculus Sketching a Curve

Hello guys, I'm really stuck on this problem. Could anyone provide help?

f(x) = x^2 - 1

Obtain:
(i) domain
(ii) intercepts
(iii) symmetry
(iv) asymptotes
(v) intervals of increase/decrease
(vi) local maxima and minima
(vii) concavity and points of inflection

Use these values to sketch the curve y = f(x)

Thanks!
