A hint to get started

Invert a piecewise function with a gap in its range

The function gg is defined by

g:x↦{x−1,x≤2,x+1,x>2.g:x\mapsto\begin{cases}x-1,&x\leq2,\\\sqrt{x+1},&x>2.\end{cases}

(i) Sketch the graph of y=g(x)y=g(x). marks

(ii) Explain why the inverse function, g−1g^{-1}, exists. Find g−1g^{-1} in the similar form. marks

Another function hh is defined by

h:x↦ex+1h:x\mapsto e^{x+1}, x∈Rx\in\mathbb R.

(iii) Find hg(x)hg(x) for x<0x<0. mark

(iv) Find the range of the composite function hghg for x<0x<0. mark
