  1. Sketch the graph of \(y = \left| 50 - x ^ { 2 } \right|\), indicating the coordinates of the point where the graph crosses the \(y\)-axis.
  2. Solve the equation \(\left| 50 - x ^ { 2 } \right| = 14\).
  3. Hence, or otherwise, solve the inequality \(\left| 50 - x ^ { 2 } \right| > 14\).
  4. Describe a sequence of two geometrical transformations that maps the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 }\) onto the graph of \(y = 50 - x ^ { 2 }\).
