$\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\ \ \ \ g:N\to N\\\\\ \ \ \ g(x)=\text{smallest prime factor of}\ x.\\\\\ \ \ \ 10=2\times 5\\\\\therefore \ \ g(10)=2\\\\\ \ \ \ 20=2\times 2\times 5\\\\\therefore \ \ g(20)=2\\\\\ \ \ \ 81=3\times 3\times 3\times 3\\\\\therefore \ \ g(81)=3\\\\\ \ \ \ \text{Since}\ g(10)=g(20),\\\\\ \ \ \ g\ \text{is not one to one correspondence}\text{.}\\\\\therefore \ \ {{g}^{{-1}}}\ \text{does not}\ \text{exists}\text{.}\end{array}$

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Let }f(x)=2{{x}^{3}}-{{x}^{2}}-8x+k\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2x-1\ \text{is a factor of }f(x).\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ f\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)=0\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ 2{{\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)}^{3}}-{{\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)}^{2}}-8\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)+k=0\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle \frac{1}{4}-\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}-4+k=0\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ k=4\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ f(x)=2{{x}^{3}}-{{x}^{2}}-8x+4\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Let }f(x)=(2x-1)({{x}^{2}}+ax+b)\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =2{{x}^{3}}+2a{{x}^{2}}+2bx-{{x}^{2}}-ax-b\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =2{{x}^{3}}+(2a-1){{x}^{2}}+(2b-a)x-b\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ 2a-1=-1\ \operatorname{and}\,b=-4\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ a=0\ \operatorname{and}\ b=-4\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \ f(x)=(2x-1)({{x}^{2}}-4)=(2x-1)(x-2)(x+2)\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \text{The other factors are }x-2\ \text{and }x+2.\end{array}$

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\ \ \ \ \ \ {{S}_{n}}=2n+3{{n}^{2}}\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ {{u}_{n}}={{S}_{n}}-{{S}_{{n-1}}}\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ {{u}_{n}}=2n+3{{n}^{2}}-\left[ {2(n-1)+3{{{(n-1)}}^{2}}} \right]\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ {{u}_{n}}=2n+3{{n}^{2}}-2n+2+3{{n}^{2}}+6n-3\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ {{u}_{n}}=4n-1\end{array}$
