\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve with equation \(y = g ( x )\).
The curve has a single turning point, a minimum, at the point \(M ( 4 , - 1.5 )\).
The curve crosses the \(x\)-axis at two points, \(P ( 2,0 )\) and \(Q ( 7,0 )\).
The curve crosses the \(y\)-axis at a single point \(R ( 0,5 )\).
  1. State the coordinates of the turning point on the curve with equation \(y = 2 \mathrm {~g} ( x )\).
  2. State the largest root of the equation $$g ( x + 1 ) = 0$$
  3. State the range of values of \(x\) for which \(\mathrm { g } ^ { \prime } ( x ) \leqslant 0\) Given that the equation \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) + k = 0\), where \(k\) is a constant, has no real roots,
  4. state the range of possible values for \(k\).
