4 The functions f and g are defined with their respective domains by $$\begin{array} { l l } \mathrm { f } ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } , & \text { for all real values of } x
\mathrm {~g} ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { x - 3 } , & \text { for real values of } x , x \neq 3 \end{array}$$
  1. State the range of f.
    1. Find fg(x).
    2. Solve the equation \(\operatorname { fg } ( x ) = 64\).
    1. The inverse of g is \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 }\). Find \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\).
    2. State the range of \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 }\).
