It mean h(g)
f=x^2 -4x+7=(x+2)^2 +3
take h=g^2 +3 and g=x-2

I'm sorry ,made a mistake while copying the question is like this:
The function f is defined by
f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 7 for x > 2.
The function g is defined by
g(x) = x - 2 for x > 2.
The function h is such that f = hg and the domain of h is x > 0.
(iii) Obtain an expression for h(x).

In fact that is not the ponly possible answer. What about g=x^2 -4x and h=g+7?
There are any number of possible answers.

f : x  ? 3 ? 2 tan(1 x)
should that be tan^-1 x

(7) (i)

First keep the value of x as 0 in f(x), you will get 3. Then keep a higher value, for example f(0.5 pie), you will get 1. So as you move from 0 to pie, the value of f(x) is decreasing so the range is : f(x)\le3

(ii)

f(2/3 pie)
= 3 - 2tan(0.5 X 2/3 pie)
= 3 - 2tan(1/3 pie)
= 3 - 2 (\sqrt3)
= \sqrt3(\sqrt3 - 2)

(iii)

You simply need to draw the graph. Make sure you plot the graph only for the range given in the question.

(iv)

f(x) = 3 - 2 tan(\frac{1}{2}x), then let f(x) be y

y = 3 - 2tan((\frac{1}{2})x)
2tan(\frac{1}{2}x) = 3 - y
tan(\frac{1}{2}x) = \left(\frac{3-y}{2} \right)
\frac{1}{2}x = tan-1\left(\frac{3-y}{2} \right)
x = 2 X tan-1\left(\frac{3-y}{2} \right)

y = 2 X tan-1\left(\frac{3-y}{2} \right)

@Arthur Bon Zavi If you can , can you plz show me show the graph looks like?? This is the first time i have come through a question in CIE Maths exam where graph of tanx has been asked to plot... I know how to plot for y=tanx ... but this y=3-tan(x/2)  for domain 0<=x<2pi seems complicated..
