\end{figure} Figure 5 shows a sketch of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), where $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 4 \sin 2 x } { \mathrm { e } ^ { \sqrt { 2 } x - 1 } } , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \pi$$ The curve has a maximum turning point at \(P\) and a minimum turning point at \(Q\) as shown in Figure 5.
  1. Show that the \(x\) coordinates of point \(P\) and point \(Q\) are solutions of the equation $$\tan 2 x = \sqrt { 2 }$$
  2. Using your answer to part (a), find the \(x\)-coordinate of the minimum turning point on the curve with equation
    1. \(y = \mathrm { f } ( 2 x )\).
    2. \(y = 3 - 2 \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
