The functions $$\(\mathrm{f}\)$$ and $$\(\mathrm{g}\)$$ are defined by $$\[ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}(x)=x^{2}-4 x+3 \text { for } x> c, \text { where } c \text { is a constant, } \\ & \mathrm{g}(x)=\frac{1}{x+1} \text { for } x> -1 \end{aligned} \]$$ It is now given that $$\(c=5\)$$. Find an expression for $$\(\mathrm{f}^{-1}(x)\)$$ and state the domain of $$\(\mathrm{f}^{-1}\)$$. .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

\(y=(x-2)^{2}-1 \rightarrow(x-2)^{2}=y+1\)
\(x=2(\pm) \sqrt{y+1}\)
\(\left(\mathrm{f}^{-1}(x)\right)=2+\sqrt{x+1}\) for \(x> 8\)
