This question is testing one's ability to algebraically calculate the inverse of a given function. This also builds one's understanding of the concept of a function and its inverse at a basic level, graphing functions, and the Cartesian plane and its coordinate system.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, finding the inverse of a simple function, falls within the Cluster B of build new functions from existing functions concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.BF.B).

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Switch the  and  variables.

The given function is,

recall that  therefore,

.

Now switch the variables.

Step 2: Solve for .

Solving for  requires the use of algebraic operations to move constants from side to side. Remember to use the opposite operation to move a constant from one side to the other.

Step 3: Answer the question.

Recall that after the variable are switch, and  is solved for it is really the inverse of  that is being solved for thus, .

This question is testing one's ability to calculation of the composition of functions for the purpose of verifying inverse functions. It is important to recall that there are two compositions of functions that need to be calculated before two functions are verified as inverses.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another, falls within the Cluster B of build new functions from existing functions concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.BF.B).

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Calculate .

Given 

 can be found as follows.

First distribute the two in the numerator to the fraction.

Now multiply the one in the denominator by  and add the two terms in the denominator together.

From here, multiple the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

The  in the numerator and in the denominator cancel out as does the two.

Step 2: Calculate .

First multiply the two in the denominator by  and then add the terms.

Now, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.
