  1. Sketch the curve \(y = - \frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } }\).
  2. The curve \(y = - \frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } }\) is translated by 2 units in the positive \(x\)-direction. State the equation of the curve after it has been translated.
  3. The curve \(y = - \frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } }\) is stretched parallel to the \(y\)-axis with scale factor \(\frac { 1 } { 2 }\) and, as a result, the point \(\left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } , - 4 \right)\) on the curve is transformed to the point \(P\). State the coordinates of \(P\).
