6. $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 2 x - 3 , x \in \mathbb { R } , x \geq 1$$
  1. Find the range of f .
  2. Write down the domain and range of \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 }\).
  3. Sketch the graph of \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 }\), indicating clearly the coordinates of any point at which the graph intersects the coordinate axes. Given that \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) = | x - 4 | , x \in \mathbb { R }\),
  4. find an expression for \(\operatorname { gf } ( x )\).
  5. Solve \(\operatorname { gf } ( x ) = 8\).
