Answer:
f^(-1)(x)=-x+3

Explanation:

To find the inverse of a function replace f(x) with x and replace the original x with y


f(x)=-x+3\\x=-y+3

Now solve for y


x=-y+3

First subtract 3 from both sides


x-3=-y+3-3\\x-3=-y

Now divide both sides by -1 (this will make y positive)


(x-3)/(-1) =(-y)/(-1) \\-x+3=y

Now replace y with the inverse of f(x),
f^(-1)(x)
