    This document contains 4 multi-part questions about functions and their properties: 1) The first question involves analyzing the function f(x) = x^2, finding its local maximum, point of inflection, and comparing it to related functions g(x) and h(x). 2) The second question examines the volume of water in a rotating glass over time as water evaporates at a given rate. 3) The third question analyzes the graph of the function f(x) = (x^2 - 5x + 4)/(x^2 + 5x + 4), finding asymptotes, intercepts, maximum/minimum points, and points of inflection. 4
