The function f is defined by \(f(x) = 3x + 1\) for \(x \leq a\), where \(a\) is a constant. The function g is defined by \(g(x) = -1 - x^2\) for \(x \leq -1\).

(i) Find the largest value of \(a\) for which the composite function \(gf\) can be formed.

For the case where \(a = -1\),

(ii) solve the equation \(fg(x) + 14 = 0\),

(iii) find the set of values of \(x\) which satisfy the inequality \(gf(x) \leq -50\).
