Answer: Product of powers
---
The product of powers rules basically says that two powers, let's call them

and

, with the same base (a) multiplied together equals

.
In your problem you can see that

and

are being multiplied together and the exponents are being added, which is what the "product of powers" law says.
The inverse of this function is y = 
In order to find the inverse of any function, you must start by switching the y and x terms. After doing so, you can then solve for your new y. The result will be the inverse function. The work for this one is done below for you.
y = 3x + 2----> switch the x and y
x = 3y + 2 ----> subtract 2
x - 2 = 3y ----> divide by 3
= y ----> switch the order for consistency
y = 
This is now your inverse function.
