\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , x \in \mathbb { R }\).
The curve meets the coordinate axes at the points \(A ( 0,1 - k )\) and \(B \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln k , 0 \right)\), where \(k\) is a constant and \(k > 1\), as shown in Figure 2. On separate diagrams, sketch the curve with equation
  1. \(y = | f ( x ) |\),
  2. \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\). Show on each sketch the coordinates, in terms of \(k\), of each point at which the curve meets or cuts the axes. Given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } - k\),
  3. state the range of f ,
  4. find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\),
  5. write down the domain of \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 }\).
