A function \(\mathrm{f}\) is such that \(\mathrm{f}(x)=2+\mathrm{e}^{-3x}\), \(x\in\mathbb R\).

  1. Write down the range of \(\mathrm{f}\).[1]
  2. Find an expression for \(\mathrm{f}^{-1}\).[2]
  3. On the axes, sketch the graphs of \(y=\mathrm{f}(x)\) and \(y=\mathrm{f}^{-1}(x)\), stating the coordinates of the points where the curves meet the coordinate axes. State the equations of any asymptotes. Label your curves.[4]

A function \(\mathrm{g}\) is such that \(\mathrm{g}(x)=x^{\frac32}+4\), \(x\geq0\).
