Answer:


f^(-1) (6) = 12

Explanation:

given

f(x) =
√(3x)

to find the inverse function
f^(-1) (x)

let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y =
√(3x) ( square both sides )

y² = (
√(3x) )² = 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )


(1)/(3) y² = x

now, change y back into terms of x, with x =
f^(-1) (x)


f^(-1) (x) =
(1)/(3) x² , then


f^(-1) (6) =
(1)/(3) × 6² =
(1)/(3) × 36 = 12
