    The document provides instructions to solve various problems related to a quartic function of the form y = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e that passes through the points (5,0) and (4,1) and has stationary points at x = 3 and x = 5. The problems include finding expressions for the coefficients a, b, c, and d in terms of e, finding the x-coordinate of the other stationary point, determining the value of e given that a = -3/29, finding the rule for the function, and finding stationary points, tangents, normals and the angle between two lines at their intersection point.
