Answer:

The function that has an inverse that is also a function is
x = 3\cdot y + (9)/(4 ).

Explanation:

The only function whose inverse is also a function is the linear function, also named first-order polynomial. The inverse of a linear function is also a linear function. That is:


y = (1)/(3)\cdot x -(3)/(4)


(1)/(3)\cdot x = y + (3)/(4)


x = 3\cdot y + (9)/(4 )

The function that has an inverse that is also a function is
x = 3\cdot y + (9)/(4 ).
