Given:

A function is


f(x)=3x

Required:

Find the inverse of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is


f(x)=3x

substitute f(x) =y


y=3x

Interchange x and y.


x=3y

Find the value of y as:


y=(x)/(3)

substitute


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

Final answer:

The inverse of the given function is


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