TopicComposite & Inverse Functions

  1. The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are defined with their respective domains by
$$\begin{array} { l l } \mathrm { f } ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 5 , & \text { for } x \geqslant 3
\mathrm {~g} ( x ) = | x - 6 | , & \text { for all real values of } x \end{array}$$
  1. Find the range of f .
  2. The inverse of f is \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 }\). Find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\). Give your answer in its simplest form.
    1. Find \(\mathrm { gf } ( x )\).
    2. Solve the equation \(\operatorname { gf } ( x ) = 6\).
