    1. Express \(x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 2\) in the form \(( x - p ) ^ { 2 } + q\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are rational numbers.
    2. Hence write down the minimum value of \(x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 2\).
  1. Describe the geometrical transformation which maps the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 7 x + 2\) onto the graph of \(y = ( x - 4 ) ^ { 2 }\).
