Answer

\[{{f}^{-1}}\left( 1 \right)=3\]

Work Step by Step

The value of the given function can be obtained using the definition of functions and the value of $f$ at the required point. Let us consider, ${{f}^{-1}}\left( 1 \right)=x$ , then $f\left( x \right)=1$. Since the value of $f\left( x \right)=2x-5$ , thus we have $\begin{align} & 2x-5=1 \\ & 2x=6 \\ & x=3 \end{align}$ Thus, ${{f}^{-1}}\left( 1 \right)=x=3$.
