(i) The smallest value of \(c\) is 2. This is because the function \(f(x) = (x-2)^2 + 2\) is defined for \(x \geq c\), and the smallest value for which the function is one-to-one is when \(c = 2\).
(ii) To find \(f^{-1}(x)\), start with \(y = (x-2)^2 + 2\). Rearrange to solve for \(x\):
\(y - 2 = (x-2)^2\)
\(x - 2 = \pm \sqrt{y-2}\)
\(x = \pm \sqrt{y-2} + 2\)
Since \(x \geq 4\), we take the positive root: \(x = \sqrt{y-2} + 2\).
Thus, \(f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x-2} + 2\).
The domain of \(f^{-1}\) is \(x > 6\) because \(f(x)\) is defined for \(x \geq 4\) and \(f(4) = 6\).
(iii) Solve \(ff(x) = 51\):
\(f(f(x)) = f((x-2)^2 + 2) = ((x-2)^2 + 2 - 2)^2 + 2 = ((x-2)^2)^2 + 2\)
Set \(((x-2)^2)^2 + 2 = 51\)
\(((x-2)^2)^2 = 49\)
\((x-2)^2 = 7\)
\(x-2 = \pm \sqrt{7}\)
Since \(x \geq 4\), \(x = 2 + \sqrt{7}\).
