The transformation R denotes a reflection in the x-axis and the transformation T denotes a translation of \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\).
(a) Find the equation, \(y = g(x)\), of the curve with equation \(y = x^2\) after it has been transformed by the sequence of transformations R followed by T.
(b) Find the equation, \(y = h(x)\), of the curve with equation \(y = x^2\) after it has been transformed by the sequence of transformations T followed by R.
(c) State fully the transformation that maps the curve \(y = g(x)\) onto the curve \(y = h(x)\).
