2 The function f is defined by \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = - 2 x ^ { 2 } - 8 x - 13\) for \(x < - 3\).
  1. Express \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in the form \(- 2 ( x + a ) ^ { 2 } + b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers.
  2. Find the range of f.
  3. Find an expression for \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\).
