8 A function f is defined by \(\mathrm { f } : x \mapsto 3 \cos x - 2\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2 \pi\).
  1. Solve the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\).
  2. Find the range of f .
  3. Sketch the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\). A function g is defined by \(\mathrm { g } : x \mapsto 3 \cos x - 2\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant k\).
  4. State the maximum value of \(k\) for which g has an inverse.
  5. Obtain an expression for \(\mathrm { g } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\).
