SOLUTION:

Step 1:

In the question, we are meant to find the inverse of f(x):


f(\text{ x ) = 3 x + 6}

Step 2:

Solving this, we have that:


\begin{gathered} f(x)\text{ = 3x + 6} \\ \text{Let f(x) = y } \\ \text{Then y = 3 x + 6} \\ y-\text{ 6 = 3x } \\ x\text{ = }(y-6)/(3) \\ f^(-1)\text{ ( x ) = }(x-6)/(3) \end{gathered}

CONCLUSION:

The inverse of:


f^(-1)(x)\text{ = }(x-6)/(3)
