# Thread: Inverse function of this one...

1. ## Inverse function of this one...

Hi,
does anybody know how to find out the "inverse" function of this function:

$
f(x) = 3 + \arcsin (2x + 1)
$

I have absolutely no idea how to start.
Any help is welcome.

Thanks.

no surprises here. as always, to find the inverse function, switch x and y and solve for y

Ok, so I know how to start.
But what then. I know I should make $y$ alone. But how?
I would like to see the whole process of that.

Thanks anyway.

note that if $\theta = \arcsin \varphi$, then $\sin \theta = \varphi$

now can you try?

Ah, thanks,
now it's clearer.

You've got my thanks.
