10 The function f is defined by \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 4 x ^ { 2 } - 24 x + 11\), for \(x \in \mathbb { R }\).
  1. Express \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in the form \(a ( x - b ) ^ { 2 } + c\) and hence state the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\). The function g is defined by \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) = 4 x ^ { 2 } - 24 x + 11\), for \(x \leqslant 1\).
  2. State the range of g .
  3. Find an expression for \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\) and state the domain of \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 }\).
