Answer:


f^-^1(x)=(1)/(3)x-(5)/(3)

Explanation:

To solve for the inverse, we need to switch the variables and solve for y.

Note that f(x) is the same as y or in other words, the output.

f(x) = 3x + 5

y = 3x + 5

~Switch variables

x = 3y + 5

~Subtract 5 to both sides

x - 5 = 3y

~Divide 3 to everything

1/3x - 5/3 = y

~Flip

y = 1/3x - 5/3

Best of Luck!
