Functions：練習題

Given the functions \(f(x) = 2x - 1\) and \(g(x) = x^2 + 3\), find the value of the composite function \(gf(2)\).

Find the inverse function, \(f^{-1}(x)\), for \(f(x) = x + 4\).

Find the coordinates of the vertex of the quadratic function \(f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 5\).

A quadratic function \(f(x)\) has a vertex at \((3, -1)\) and passes through the point \((1, 7)\). Find the value of the stretch factor \(a\) when the function is written in the form \(f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k\).
