Answer: The diagram is below

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a collection of points. Usually those points are connected with some kind of line or curve. In this case, we have a finite set of disconnected points as separate islands of sorts.

Any point is of the form (x,y). The inverse of this simply involves swapping the positions of the x and y coordinates. So if for example (0,3) is on f(x), then (3,0) is on the inverse.

We'll have a black filled in circle at (0,3) and a white open hole at (3,0)

This process is carried out for the remaining other points on f(x).

Check out the diagram below. Take note that the line y = x is the mirror line between any point and its corresponding inverse.
