  1. Describe a sequence of two geometrical transformations that maps the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 }\) onto the graph of \(y = 4 x ^ { 2 } - 5\).
  2. Sketch the graph of \(y = \left| 4 x ^ { 2 } - 5 \right|\), indicating the coordinates of the point where the curve crosses the \(y\)-axis.
    1. Solve the equation \(\left| 4 x ^ { 2 } - 5 \right| = 4\).
    2. Hence, or otherwise, solve the inequality \(\left| 4 x ^ { 2 } - 5 \right| \geqslant 4\).
