Do not use a calculator for this question.

The curve with equation y=f(x)y=f(x) has a maximum point at (−1, 4)(-1,\,4).

The curve crosses the xx-axis at (−3, 0)(-3,\,0) and at (1, 0)(1,\,0).

(a)

Write down the coordinates of the maximum point of the curve with equation y=f(x)−3y=f(x)-3.

(b)

Write down the coordinates of the two points where the curve with equation y=f(x+2)y=f(x+2) crosses the xx-axis.
