The equation of a curve is \(y = 8x - x^2\).
(i) Express \(8x - x^2\) in the form \(a - (x + b)^2\), stating the numerical values of \(a\) and \(b\).
(ii) Hence, or otherwise, find the coordinates of the stationary point of the curve.
(iii) Find the set of values of \(x\) for which \(y \geq -20\).
The function \(g\) is defined by \(g : x \mapsto 8x - x^2\), for \(x \geq 4\).
(iv) State the domain and range of \(g^{-1}\).
(v) Find an expression, in terms of \(x\), for \(g^{-1}(x)\).
