Question
**Task: Analyzing a Mathematical Function**

Given the function \( y = e^{2x}(x + 4) \), your objective is to identify and plot any stationary points, inflection points, and cusps that may or may not exist. Calculate these points and provide approximate answers to four decimal places. 

**Instructions:**

1. **Stationary Points**: Determine where the first derivative of the function equals zero.
2. **Inflection Points**: Identify where the second derivative of the function changes sign.
3. **Cusps**: Check for any points where the function may have undefined derivatives or sharp turns.

Carefully analyze the function and apply calculus techniques to find these critical points.
