Here we go ~

In the above question, it is given that :


\qquad \sf  \boxed{ \sf f(x) = (x + 3)/(2) }

A.) Find f(2) :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = (2 + 3)/(2)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = (5)/(2)

or


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = 0.5

B.) Find
{ \sf {f}^(-1)(x) } :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: let \: y = f (x)

so, we can write it as :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: y = (x + 3)/(2)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2y = x + 3


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 2y - 3

Now, put x =
{ \sf {f}^(-1)(x) }, and y = x and we will get our required inverse function ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^( - 1)(x) = 2x- 3

C.) Find
{ \sf {f}^(-1)(12) } :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^( - 1)(12) = 2(12)- 3


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^( - 1)(12) = 36- 3


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f {}^( - 1)(12) = 33
