Correct Answer

✅ Option b — y/3\displaystyle y/3

All Options:

  • A1/3y\displaystyle 1/3y
  • By/3\displaystyle y/3
  • C−3y\displaystyle -3y
  • D1/y\displaystyle 1/y

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The function is given as y=f(x)=3x\displaystyle y = f(x) = 3x.
To find the inverse function f−1\displaystyle f^{-1} in terms of y\displaystyle y, we solve for x\displaystyle x in terms of y\displaystyle y:
y=3x  ⟹  x=y3y = 3x \implies x = y3\displaystyle \frac{y}{3}
Therefore, the inverse function is:
f−1(y)=y3f^{-1}(y) = y3\displaystyle \frac{y}{3}
This corresponds to Option B.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
