Standard +0.8 This FP2 question requires understanding the relationship between y = f(x) and y² = f(x), recognizing that the latter is an implicit curve with both positive and negative y-values where f(x) > 0, and identifying that turning points transform non-trivially (the maximum at (0,5) becomes (0,±√5) with vertical tangents). It demands conceptual insight beyond routine curve sketching, though the execution is systematic once understood.

The diagram shows the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\). The curve has a maximum point at ( 0,5 ) and crosses the \(x\)-axis at \(( - 2,0 ) , ( 3,0 )\) and \(( 4,0 )\). Sketch the curve \(y ^ { 2 } = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), showing clearly the coordinates of any turning points and of any points where this curve crosses the axes.

The diagram shows the curve $y = \mathrm { f } ( x )$. The curve has a maximum point at ( 0,5 ) and crosses the $x$-axis at $( - 2,0 ) , ( 3,0 )$ and $( 4,0 )$. Sketch the curve $y ^ { 2 } = \mathrm { f } ( x )$, showing clearly the coordinates of any turning points and of any points where this curve crosses the axes.
