\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\). There is a maximum at \(( 0,0 )\), a minimum at \(( 2 , - 1 )\) and \(C\) passes through \(( 3,0 )\). On separate diagrams sketch the curve with equation
  1. \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x + 3 )\),
  2. \(y = \mathrm { f } ( - x )\). On each diagram show clearly the coordinates of the maximum point, the minimum point and any points of intersection with the \(x\)-axis.

\end{figure} Figure 1 shows part of the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , x \in \mathbb { R }\). The graph consists of two line segments that meet at the point \(( 1 , a ) , a < 0\). One line meets the \(x\)-axis at \(( 3,0 )\). The other line meets the \(x\)-axis at \(( - 1,0 )\) and the \(y\)-axis at \(( 0 , b ) , b < 0\). In separate diagrams, sketch the graph with equation
  1. \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x + 1 )\),
  2. \(y = \mathrm { f } ( | x | )\). Indicate clearly on each sketch the coordinates of any points of intersection with the axes. Given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = | x - 1 | - 2\), find
  3. the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\),
  4. the value of \(x\) for which \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 5 x\).
