  1. The diagram below shows the graph of \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\). The curve passes through the points \(A(-a,0)\) and \(B(0,-a)\) and has a minimum point at \(C(2a,-2a)\), where \(a > 0\). The lines \(x = -2a\) and \(y = -a\) are asymptotes of the curve.

    On separate diagrams, sketch the graph of
    1. \(y = \mathrm{f}(x-a) + a\),[3]
    2. \(y = \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}(x)}\),[3]
  2. The curve whose equation is \(y = \sin x\), undergoes in succession, the following transformations:

    \(\mathbf{A}\): A translation by \(\pi\) units in the negative \(x\)-direction.
    \(\mathbf{B}\): A scaling parallel to the \(x\)-axis by a factor of \(3\).
    \(\mathbf{C}\): A translation by \(2\) units in the positive \(y\)-direction.

    Find the equation of the resulting curve.[3]
