Prelims

The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is defined by \(\mathrm{f}:x\to \ln \left[ {{\left( x-1 \right)}^{2}}-k \right]\), where \(x<-2\) and \(k\) is a constant. Find the maximum value of \(k\). Another function \(\mathrm{g}\) is defined by \(\mathrm{g}:x\to \tan x,-\frac{\pi }{2} < x < \frac{\pi }{2}.\) If \(k=8\),

  1. define \({{\mathrm{f}}^{-1}}\), the inverse function of \(\mathrm{f}\), in a similar form.
  2. show that the composite function \({{\mathrm{g}}^{-1}}{{\mathrm{f}}^{-1}}\) exists and find the range of this composite function.
