  1. The function f is defined by
$$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 5 \quad x \geqslant 0 \quad x \in \mathbb { R }$$
  1. State the range of f On the following page there is a diagram, labelled Diagram 1, which shows a sketch of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  2. On Diagram 1, sketch the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\). The curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) meets the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\) at the point \(P\) Using algebra and showing your working,
  3. find the exact \(x\) coordinate of \(P\)
