Answer

$\dfrac{x+2}{3}=f^{-1} (x)$

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to find the inverse of the function $f(x)$. In order to this, we will rewrite $f(x)$ as $y$ and then exchange the variables x and y. $f(x) =y=3x−2 \\ x=3y−2 \\ x+2=3y $ Now, solve the equation for $y$. $y=\dfrac{x+2}{3}$ or, $f^{-1} (x)=\dfrac{x+2}{3}$
