    1. Sketch the graph of \(y = ( x - 5 ) ( x - 3 ) + 2\), stating the coordinates of the minimum point and the point where the graph crosses the \(y\)-axis.
    2. Write down an equation of the tangent to the graph of \(y = ( x - 5 ) ( x - 3 ) + 2\) at its vertex.
  2. Describe the geometrical transformation that maps the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 }\) onto the graph of \(y = ( x - 5 ) ( x - 3 ) + 2\).
