The diagram shows the function \(f\) defined for \(0 \leq x \leq 6\) by:

\(x \mapsto \frac{1}{2}x^2\) for \(0 \leq x \leq 2\),

\(x \mapsto \frac{1}{2}x + 1\) for \(2 < x \leq 6\).

(i) State the range of \(f\).

(ii) Copy the diagram and on your copy sketch the graph of \(y = f^{-1}(x)\).

(iii) Obtain expressions to define \(f^{-1}(x)\), giving the set of values of \(x\) for which each expression is valid.

The function f is defined by

\(f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 7\) for \(x > 2\).

(i) Express \(f(x)\) in the form \((x-a)^2 + b\) and hence state the range of \(f\).

(ii) Obtain an expression for \(f^{-1}(x)\) and state the domain of \(f^{-1}\).

The function g is defined by

\(g(x) = x - 2\) for \(x > 2\).

The function h is such that \(f = hg\) and the domain of \(h\) is \(x > 0\).

(iii) Obtain an expression for \(h(x)\).

(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.

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

(i) State the greatest possible value of \(a\).

(ii) It is given that \(a\) takes this greatest possible value. State the range of \(f\) and find an expression for \(f^{-1}(x)\).

(b) The function \(g\) is defined by \(g(x) = (x - 3)^2\) for \(x \geq 0\).

(i) Show that \(gg(2x)\) can be expressed in the form \((2x - 3)^4 + b(2x - 3)^2 + c\), where \(b\) and \(c\) are constants to be found.

(ii) Hence expand \(gg(2x)\) completely, simplifying your answer.
