Questions from Voltage Controlled Oscillator

1. Adjust the potentiometer. What happens to the sound frequency as R3 is adjusted?
        It goes up and down, making the pitch change
2. Measure the voltage being applied to pin 5. Adjust the pot to give the highest possible voltage.
        5V
3. Now adjust the pot for the minimum voltage to pin 5. The voltage is....
        5V (I was not able to actually measure this because I could not replicate what I had built two days ago...but wouldn't the voltage be the same at pin 5 no matter what the pot is set at? because the pot is between pin 5 and the ground, so the current would be the same at pin 5 and then be changed just before it goes into the ground)
4. The output frequency is highest when the control voltage at pin 5 is....
        Again, I was not able to test this, but I would assume it would stay at 5V
