11 The function f : \(x \mapsto 4 - 3 \sin x\) is defined for the domain \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2 \pi\).
  1. Solve the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 2\).
  2. Sketch the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
  3. Find the set of values of \(k\) for which the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = k\) has no solution. The function \(\mathrm { g } : x \mapsto 4 - 3 \sin x\) is defined for the domain \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi \leqslant x \leqslant A\).
  4. State the largest value of \(A\) for which g has an inverse.
  5. For this value of \(A\), find the value of \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 } ( 3 )\). \footnotetext{Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
