The function \(\mathrm{f}\) is given by \(\mathrm{f}:x\mapsto {{x}^{2}}-6\lambda x,x\in \mathbb{R},\) where \(\lambda \) is a positive constant. Find, in terms of \(\lambda \),
Give a reason why \(\mathrm{f}\) does not have an inverse.[1]
The function \(\mathrm{f}\) has an inverse if its domain is restricted to \(x\le k\) and also has an inverse if its domain is restricted to \(x\le k\).
Find \(k\) in terms of \(\lambda \), and find an expression for \({{\mathrm{f}}^{-1}}\left( x \right)\) corresponding to each of these domains for \(\mathrm{f}\).[4]
