\end{figure} Figure 1 shows the sketch of a curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , x \in \mathbb { R }\). The curve crosses the \(y\)-axis at \(( 0,4 )\) and crosses the \(x\)-axis at \(( 5,0 )\). The curve has a single turning point, a maximum, at (2, 7). The line with equation \(y = 1\) is the only asymptote to the curve.
  1. State the coordinates of the turning point on the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x - 2 )\).
  2. State the solution of the equation f( \(2 x\) ) \(= 0\)
  3. State the equation of the asymptote to the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( - x )\). Given that the line with equation \(y = k\), where \(k\) is a constant, meets the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) at only one point,
  4. state the set of possible values for \(k\).
