The function f is defined by \(\mathrm{f}(x)=-2 x^{2}+9 x-10\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 3\). (a) (i) Write \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) in the form \(a+b(x+c)^{2}\) where \(a, b\) and \(c\) are constants.
(ii) Hence determine whether or not \(\mathrm{f}^{-1}\) exists.
(b) The function g is defined by \(\mathrm{g}(x)=3 \ln (5-2 x)\) for \(0 \leqslant x\lt 2.5\). (i) On the axes, sketch the graph of \(y=\mathrm{g}(x)\).
State the exact values of the intercepts with the coordinate axes and the equation of any asymptote.
(ii) Find an expression for \(\mathrm{g}^{-1}(x)\).
(iii) Find the domain and range of \(\mathrm{g}^{-1}\).
Give each of your answers in exact form.
