Answer:

Analyzed & Sketched

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function: [tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{xe^x}[/tex]

So, we will find first derivative for finding the interval of increase and decrease.

[tex]f'(x)=\frac{-e^x-xe^x}{x^2e^{2x}} =-\frac{e^{-x}(x+1)}{x^2}[/tex]

it is increasing on (-∞, -1) and decreasing on (1,0) ∪ (0, ∞).

For concavity, we need to find the second derivative.

[tex]f''(x)=\frac{(-e^x-e^x-xe^x)x^2e^{2x}+(e^x-xe^x)(2xe^{2x}+x^2e^{2x})}{x^4e^{4x}} =\frac{e^{-x}\left(x^2+2\left(x+1\right)\right)}{x^3}[/tex]

it is concave down on (-∞, 0) and concave up on (0, ∞).

x = 0 is vertical asymptote.

Sketch is given in the attachment.
