Answer:


f^(-1)(x)=(x-11)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:


f\mleft(x\mright)=3x+11

To find the inverse, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Replace f(x) with y.


y=3x+11

Step 2: Swap x and y:


x=3y+11

Step 3: Make y the subject of the formula:


\begin{gathered} 3y=x-11 \\ y=(x-11)/(3) \end{gathered}

Step 4: Replace y with the inverse function:


f^(-1)(x)=(x-11)/(3)
