\end{figure} Figure 5 shows a sketch of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) where $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \sqrt { x } \quad x > 0$$ The point \(P ( 9,3 )\) lies on the curve and is shown in Figure 5.
On the next page there is a copy of Figure 5 called Diagram 1.
  1. On Diagram 1, sketch and clearly label the graphs of $$y = \mathrm { f } ( 2 x ) \text { and } y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) + 3$$ Show on each graph the coordinates of the point to which \(P\) is transformed. The graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( 2 x )\) meets the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) + 3\) at the point \(Q\).
  2. Show that the \(x\) coordinate of \(Q\) is the solution of $$\sqrt { x } = 3 ( \sqrt { 2 } + 1 )$$
  3. Hence find, in simplest form, the coordinates of \(Q\).
