The function \(f : x \mapsto p \sin^2 2x + q\) is defined for \(0 \leq x \leq \pi\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are positive constants. The diagram shows the graph of \(y = f(x)\).
(i) In terms of \(p\) and \(q\), state the range of \(f\).
(ii) State the number of solutions of the following equations.
(a) \(f(x) = p + q\)
(b) \(f(x) = q\)
(c) \(f(x) = \frac{1}{2}p + q\)
(iii) For the case where \(p = 3\) and \(q = 2\), solve the equation \(f(x) = 4\), showing all necessary working.
