Functions f and g are defined by

\(f : x \mapsto 2x + 5\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}\),

\(g : x \mapsto \frac{8}{x-3}\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}, x \neq 3\).

(i) Obtain expressions, in terms of \(x\), for \(f^{-1}(x)\) and \(g^{-1}(x)\), stating the value of \(x\) for which \(g^{-1}(x)\) is not defined. [4]

(ii) Given that the equation \(fg(x) = 5 - kx\), where \(k\) is a constant, has no solutions, find the set of possible values of \(k\). [5]
