The correct answers are A, C, and D.

We have f(x) = 3-2x.

A. f^-1(1) = x, where f(x) = 1

=> 3 - 2x = 1

=> x = 1

Therefore, f^-1(1) = 1. This statement is true.

B. f^1(-1) = y, where f(y) = -1

=> 3 - 2y = -1

=> y = 2

Therefore, f^1(-1) = 2. This statement is false.

C. f^-1(2) = x, where f(x) = 2

=> 3 - 2x = 2

=> x = 1/2

Therefore, f^-1(2) = 1/2. This statement is true.

D. (f o f^-1)(-2) = -2

(f o f^-1)(-2) means apply f^-1 to -2 and then apply f to the result.

Let y = f^-1(-2)

=> f(y) = -2

=> 3 - 2y = -2

=> y = 5/2

=> f(5/2) = 3 - 2(5/2) = -2

Therefore, (f o f^-1)(-2) = -2. This statement is true.
