Functions f and g are defined by
\(f : x \mapsto k - x\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}\), where \(k\) is a constant,
\(g : x \mapsto \frac{9}{x+2}\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}, x \neq -2\).
- Find the values of \(k\) for which the equation \(f(x) = g(x)\) has two equal roots and solve the equation \(f(x) = g(x)\) in these cases. [6]
- Solve the equation \(fg(x) = 5\) when \(k = 6\). [3]
- Express \(g^{-1}(x)\) in terms of \(x\). [2]
