The functions f and g are defined for \(x > 0\) by
\(f : x \mapsto 2x^2 + 3\),
\(g : x \mapsto 3x + 2\).
(i) Show that \(gf(x) = 6x^2 + 11\) and obtain an unsimplified expression for \(fg(x)\). [2]
(ii) Find an expression for \((fg)^{-1}(x)\) and determine the domain of \((fg)^{-1}\). [5]
(iii) Solve the equation \(gf(2x) = fg(x)\). [3]
