Answer:


\text{(3,3) is point of intersection of  } f^(-1)(x)=f(x)

Explanation:

If f(x) and it's inverse function
f^(-1)(x) plot on same coordinate plane.

Both graph intersect at line y=x because y=x is line of symmetry of inverse function.

Intersection of
f^(-1)(x) and f(x) would be x and y coordinate same.

Therefore,
f^(-1)(x)=f(x)=x

We are given four options. Let we check each one.

Option 1: (0,-2)

x=0 and y=-2 , 0≠-2

This is false.

Option 2: (1,-1)

x=1 and y=-1 , 1≠-1

This is false.

Option 3: (2,0)

x=2 and y=0 , 2≠0

This is false.

Option 4: (3,3)

x=3 and y=3 , 3=3

This is true.

Thus, (3,3) is point of intersection of
f^(-1)(x)=f(x)
