$$\begin{aligned}
& f ( x ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { x } , x \in \mathbb { R } , x > 0
& g ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 3 } + 11 , x \in \mathbb { R }
\end{aligned}$$
a) Find and simplify an expression for the composite function \(g f ( x )\).
b) State the domain and range of \(g f ( x )\).
c) Solve the equation
$$g f ( x ) = 27$$
The equation \(g f ( x ) = k\), where \(k\) is a constant, has solutions.
d) State the range of the possible values of \(k\).
