(i) Express \(9x^2 - 6x + 6\) in the form \((ax + b)^2 + c\), where \(a, b\) and \(c\) are constants.
The function \(f\) is defined by \(f(x) = 9x^2 - 6x + 6\) for \(x \geq p\), where \(p\) is a constant.
(ii) State the smallest value of \(p\) for which \(f\) is a one-one function.
(iii) For this value of \(p\), obtain an expression for \(f^{-1}(x)\), and state the domain of \(f^{-1}\).
(iv) State the set of values of \(q\) for which the equation \(f(x) = q\) has no solution.
