  1. Sketch the curve \(y = 6 \times 5 ^ { x }\), stating the coordinates of any points of intersection with the axes.
  2. The point \(P\) on the curve \(y = 9 ^ { x }\) has \(y\)-coordinate equal to 150 . Use logarithms to find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\), correct to 3 significant figures.
  3. The curves \(y = 6 \times 5 ^ { x }\) and \(y = 9 ^ { x }\) intersect at the point \(Q\). Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(Q\) can be written as \(x = \frac { 1 + \log _ { 3 } 2 } { 2 - \log _ { 3 } 5 }\).
