(i) Express \(2x^2 - 12x + 11\) in the form \(a(x + b)^2 + c\), where \(a, b\) and \(c\) are constants.

The function \(f\) is defined by \(f(x) = 2x^2 - 12x + 11\) for \(x \leq k\).

(ii) State the largest value of the constant \(k\) for which \(f\) is a one-one function.

(iii) For this value of \(k\) find an expression for \(f^{-1}(x)\) and state the domain of \(f^{-1}\).

The function \(g\) is defined by \(g(x) = x + 3\) for \(x \leq p\).

(iv) With \(k\) now taking the value 1, find the largest value of the constant \(p\) which allows the composite function \(fg\) to be formed, and find an expression for \(fg(x)\) whenever this composite function exists.
