Answer:

Explanation:

Given f(x) = (3x-1)/2

To get f^-1(4), we need to get the inverse of the function first.

Let y = (3x-1)/2

Replace y with x

x = (3y-1)/2

Make y the subject of the formula

2x = 3y-1

3y = 2x+1

y = (2x+1)/3

f^-1(x) = (2x+1)/3

Substitute x = 4 into the resulting expression

f^-1(4) = (2(4)+1)/3

f^-1(4) = (8+1)/3

f^-1(4) = 9/3

f^-1(4) = 3
