\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C _ { 1 }\) with equation $$y = 12 \sin x$$ where \(x\) is measured in radians.
The point \(P\) shown in Figure 4 is a maximum point on \(C _ { 1 }\)
  1. Find the coordinates of \(P\). The curve \(C _ { 2 }\) has equation $$y = 12 \sin x + k$$ where \(k\) is a constant.
    Given that the maximum value of \(y\) on \(C _ { 2 }\) is 3
  2. find the coordinates of the minimum point on \(C _ { 2 }\) which has the smallest positive \(x\) coordinate. The curve \(C _ { 3 }\) has equation $$y = 12 \sin ( x + B )$$ where \(B\) is a positive constant.
    Given that \(\left( \frac { \pi } { 4 } , A \right)\), where \(A\) is a constant, is the minimum point on \(C _ { 3 }\) which has the smallest positive \(x\) coordinate,
  3. find
    1. the value of \(A\),
    2. the smallest possible value of \(B\).
