Assuming the Q is just asking for a rough sketch: not much, generally just need things like general shape, easy-to-find axial intercepts and asymptotes. Don't need to waste time finding stationary points or inflexion points etc.

I see. I was looking at this question from HSC 2013:
Question 16 (b) (iii) Sketch the number of trout as a function of time. (1 mark)

Just make sure you draw your dorsal fin is clearly visible, as well as a defined but not too exaggerated caudal peduncle. You must also draw it so that it is distinguishable as either a rainbow trout, lake trout, brook trout or perhaps a brown trout.

Well it's a 1-marker, so not much detail needed. You'd just need the right shape and right axial intercepts.

Note taken. It was a lake trout - I always had trouble with the lake trouts.
