\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , \quad x \in \mathbb { R }\)
The curve meets the coordinate axes at the points \(A ( 0 , - 3 )\) and \(B \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \ln 4,0 \right)\) and the curve has an asymptote with equation \(y = - 4\) In separate diagrams, sketch the graph with equation
  1. \(y = | f ( x ) |\)
  2. \(y = 2 \mathrm { f } ( x ) + 6\) On each sketch, give the exact coordinates of the points where the curve crosses or meets the coordinate axes and the equation of any asymptote. Given that $$\begin{array} { l l } \mathrm { f } ( x ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { - 3 x } - 4 , & x \in \mathbb { R }
    \mathrm {~g} ( x ) = \ln \left( \frac { 1 } { x + 2 } \right) , & x > - 2 \end{array}$$
  3. state the range of f,
  4. find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\),
  5. express \(f g ( x )\) as a polynomial in \(x\).
