- Express \(x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 4\) in the form \(( x - p ) ^ { 2 } + q\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are rational numbers.
(2 marks) - Hence write down the minimum value of the expression \(x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 4\).
- Describe the geometrical transformation that maps the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 }\) onto the graph of \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 4\).
