\end{figure} Figure 1 shows part of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , x \in \mathbb { R }\).
The curve passes through the points \(Q ( 0,2 )\) and \(P ( - 3,0 )\) as shown.
  1. Find the value of ff(-3). On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation
  2. \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\),
  3. \(y = \mathrm { f } ( | x | ) - 2\),
  4. \(y = 2 \mathrm { f } \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } x \right)\). Indicate clearly on each sketch the coordinates of the points at which the curve crosses or meets the axes.
