7 Fig. 8 shows part of the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), where \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 5 } x } \sin x\), for all \(x\). \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Sketch the graphs of
    (A) \(y = \mathrm { f } ( 2 x )\),
    (B) \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x + \pi )\).
  2. Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of the turning point P satisfies the equation \(\tan x = 5\). Hence find the coordinates of P .
  3. Show that \(\mathrm { f } ( x + \pi ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \pi } \mathrm { f } ( x )\). Hence, using the substitution \(u = x - \pi\), show that $$\int _ { \pi } ^ { 2 \pi } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x = \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \pi } \int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi } \mathrm { f } ( u ) \mathrm { d } u .$$ Interpret this result graphically. [You should not attempt to integrate \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\).]
