    The document contains 5 multi-part questions about rational functions and their graphs. Question 1 asks about sketching two rational functions and finding their points of intersection. Question 2 involves finding asymptotes and points of tangency for a given rational function. Question 3 is similar but asks about a different rational function. Question 4 asks about sketching two rational functions and using that to solve an inequality. Question 5 gives a general rational function and asks about finding its equation based on given information, finding its stationary points, and sketching related functions.

    The document discusses rational function curves through 5 multi-part questions, providing equations, asymptotes, intersections and other details needed to sketch the graphs.

    The main steps to sketching a rational function curve involve determining the asymptotes, intersections with the coordinate axes, turning points if applicable, and using the information provided to sketch the overall shape of the curve.

    Each question provides the equation of the curve, asks you to determine asymptotes and intersections, find solutions to related equations, and sketch the curve indicating all relevant details.
