  1. Describe a geometrical transformation that maps the graph of \(y = 4 ^ { x }\) onto the graph of \(y = 3 \times 4 ^ { x }\).
  2. Sketch the curve with equation \(y = 3 \times 4 ^ { x }\), indicating the value of the intercept on the \(y\)-axis.
  3. The curve with equation \(y = 4 ^ { - x }\) intersects the curve \(y = 3 \times 4 ^ { x }\) at the point \(P\). Use logarithms to find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\), giving your answer to three significant figures.
