The function f is defined by \(f : x \mapsto 2x^2 - 8x + 11\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}\).

(i) Express \(f(x)\) in the form \(a(x + b)^2 + c\), where \(a, b\) and \(c\) are constants.

(ii) State the range of \(f\).

(iii) Explain why \(f\) does not have an inverse.

The function \(g\) is defined by \(g : x \mapsto 2x^2 - 8x + 11\) for \(x \leq A\), where \(A\) is a constant.

(iv) State the largest value of \(A\) for which \(g\) has an inverse.

(v) When \(A\) has this value, obtain an expression, in terms of \(x\), for \(g^{-1}(x)\) and state the range of \(g^{-1}\).
