Calculus 1 - Lab 1b - Team 5: Sketch The Graph of ( ) 3

This document provides instructions for a Calculus 1 lab assignment involving analysis of the function f(x)=x^3-x using Sympy, a Python symbolic mathematics library. Students are asked to define the function, find x-intercepts, critical values, inflection points, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, and plot the graph. Computations include taking derivatives, setting expressions equal to zero, and evaluating limits. The document contains code cells for students to write their work and responses.
