Answer

$f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt {\frac{3}{3x-1}}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\frac{x^2+3}{3x^2},$ $y=\frac{x^2+3}{3x^2},$ a.$x=\frac{y^2+3}{3y^2},$ $3xy^2=y^2+3,$ $3xy^2-y^2=3,$ $y^2(3x-1)=3,$ $y^2=\frac{3}{3x-1},$ $y=\sqrt {\frac{3}{3x-1}}=f^{-1}(x),$ b. Domain of $f(x)$ is $x\in\mathbb{R} -\{ 0\},$ and Domain of $f^{-1}(x)$ is $x>\frac{1}{3}$
