To sketch a graph, ask: where is the denominator zero (a vertical asymptote)? What does f approach when x is very large (a horizontal asymptote)? Where is the derivative zero (peaks and valleys)? Where does f″ change sign (a نقطة انعطاف)?
In an optimisation problem, first write the quantity you want to make largest or smallest in terms of one variable. Then put its derivative equal to zero, check the solution and work out the value of the function there.
The answer is usually the value of the function (the largest area), not x. Remember to put x back into the function.
