Correct Answer

A

Explanation

To find the inverse of the function f(x) = 3x + 4, we can follow these steps:1. Replace f(x) with y: y = 3x + 4.2. Swap the x and y variables: x = 3y + 4.3. Solve the equation for y: x - 4 = 3y.4. Divide both sides by 3: (x - 4) / 3 = y.5. Replace y with f^(-1)(x): f^(-1)(x) = (x - 4) / 3.Therefore, the inverse of the function f(x) = 3x + 4 is f^(-1)(x) = (x - 4) / 3.
