9 The curve in Fig. 9.1 has equation \(\sqrt { x } + \sqrt { y } = 1\). \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure}
  1. Show that this is part, but not all of the curve \(y = 1 - 2 \sqrt { x } + x\). Sketch the full curve \(y = 1 - 2 \sqrt { x } + x\).
  2. Fig.9.2 shows a star shape made up of four parts, one of which is given in part (i) above. \begin{figure}[h]
    \includegraphics[alt={},max width=\textwidth]{2f403099-2813-40d8-a9ae-1f7e64d41f80-4_380_681_1197_651} \captionsetup{labelformat=empty} \caption{Fig. 9.2}
    \end{figure} For each of the sections of the shape labelled \(\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }\) and C , state the equation of the curve and the domain.
  3. The shape shown in Fig.9.2 is made into that in Fig. 10.3 by stretching the part of the figure for which \(y > 0\) by a scale factor of 2 . \begin{figure}[h]

    \end{figure} Find the area of this shape.
