To find the inverse, we swap the variables y and x, then solve for the new y.

3a.
y=(3)/(x-1)

Swapping the variables:
x=(3)/(y-1)
Solving for y:
x(y-1)=3 \\ y-1= (3)/(x) \\ y=1+(3)/(x)
The domain of this inverse is
x ≠ 0.
3b.
y=x^2-1

Swapping:
x = y^2 - 1
Solving for y:
y^2 = x + 1 \\ y = √(x+1)
The domain of this inverse is
x ≥ -1.
3c.
y=\sqrt[3]{(x-7)/(3)}
Swapping:
x=\sqrt[3]{(y-7)/(3)}
Solving for y:
x^3=(y-7)/(3) \\ y-7=3x^3 \\ y=3x^3+7
The domain of this inverse is all real numbers.
4a.
y=(3)/(x-1),
y=1+(3)/(x)

y=(3)/((1+(3)/(x))-1) \\ y=(3)/(((3)/(x))) \\ y=x

y=1+(3)/(((3)/(x-1))) \\ y = 1+(x-1) \\ y = x

4c.
y=\sqrt[3]{(x-7)/(3)},
y=3x^3+7

y=\sqrt[3]{((3x^3+7)-7)/(3)} \\ y=\sqrt[3]{(3x^3)/(3)} \\ y=\sqrt[3]{x^3} \\ y=x

y=3(\sqrt[3]{(x-7)/(3)})^3+7 \\ y = 3({(x-7)/(3)})+7 \\ y = (x-7)+7 \\ y=x
