The functions f and g are defined by
\(f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3\) for \(x > c\), where \(c\) is a constant,
\(g(x) = \frac{1}{x+1}\) for \(x > -1\).
(a) Express \(f(x)\) in the form \((x-a)^2 + b\).
It is given that \(f\) is a one-one function.
(b) State the smallest possible value of \(c\).
It is now given that \(c = 5\).
(c) Find an expression for \(f^{-1}(x)\) and state the domain of \(f^{-1}\).
(d) Find an expression for \(gf(x)\) and state the range of \(gf\).
