Answer:

For all real numbers x, define the function f by f(x)=0 if x≠1 and f(1)=2.

Explanation:

The domain of f is the set of real numbers (R). To define
f^(-1)(x)=1/f(x) at a point x, we need that f(x)≠0 as division by zero is undefined.

However, there is only one point x such that f(x)≠0, the point x=1.

Thus
f^(-1)(1)=1/f(1)=1/2 and the domain of
f^(-1) is the set {1}.
