Consider the function h(x) = ((x^2) - x) / ((x + 1)^2), which has first derivative h'(x) = (3x - 1) / ((x + 1)^3) and second derivative h''(x) = (6 - 6x) / ((x + 1)^4). Find the vertical asymptotes, locate and classify all relative minima and maxima and point(s) of inflection. Give answers to 3 decimal places.
