6. The function f is defined by $$\mathrm { f } : x \rightarrow \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } + k ^ { 2 } , \quad x \in \mathbb { R } , \quad k \text { is a positive constant. }$$
  1. State the range of f .
  2. Find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 }\) and state its domain. The function g is defined by $$g : x \rightarrow \ln ( 2 x ) , \quad x > 0$$
  3. Solve the equation $$\mathrm { g } ( x ) + \mathrm { g } \left( x ^ { 2 } \right) + \mathrm { g } \left( x ^ { 3 } \right) = 6$$ giving your answer in its simplest form.
  4. Find \(\mathrm { fg } ( x )\), giving your answer in its simplest form.
  5. Find, in terms of the constant \(k\), the solution of the equation $$\mathrm { fg } ( x ) = 2 k ^ { 2 }$$
