Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

The inverse function tells you the input value that corresponds to the given output value of the function.

You want f^-1(3), which is the value of x such that f(x) = 3.

f(x) = 3 = 4x +2

1 = 4x . . . . . . subtract 2

1/4 = x . . . . . divide by 4

The inverse function of 3 is 1/4:

$\boxed{f^(-1)(3)=(1)/(4)}$
