\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{cba7391d-2cf7-483c-9a21-bc9fd49860ee-08_608_597_258_772} The diagram shows the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  1. On this diagram sketch the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\). It is now given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = - \frac { x } { \sqrt { 4 - x ^ { 2 } } }\) where \(- 2 < x < 2\).
  2. Find an expression for \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\).
    The function g is defined by \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) = 2 x\) for \(- a < x < a\), where \(a\) is a constant.
  3. State the maximum possible value of \(a\) for which fg can be formed.
  4. Assuming that fg can be formed, find and simplify an expression for \(\mathrm { fg } ( x )\).
