5. (a) Describe fully a single transformation that maps the graph of \(y = 3 ^ { x }\) onto the graph of \(y = \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { x }\).
(b) Sketch on the same diagram the curves \(y = \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { x }\) and \(y = 2 \left( 3 ^ { x } \right)\), showing the coordinates of any points where each curve crosses the coordinate axes.
The curves \(y = \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { x }\) and \(y = 2 \left( 3 ^ { x } \right)\) intersect at the point \(P\).
(c) Find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) to 2 decimal places and show that the \(y\)-coordinate of \(P\) is \(\sqrt { 2 }\).
