Answer:
f⁻¹(x) = √((3 -x)/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
A function gives you a y-value for each value of x.
y = f(x)
__
An inverse function tells you the x value that produced a given y-value. It is the solution to the equation ...
x = f(y)
So, we want to find y for ...
x = -3y² +3
x -3 = -3y² . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3
(x -3)/-3 = y² . . . . . . . . . divide by -3
√((x -3)/-3) = y . . . . . . . take the square root.
The requirement for x > 0 in the original function means y > 0 for the inverse function. That is why we use the positive square root.
This can be simplified a little bit to remove the minus sign from the denominator.
f⁻¹(x) = √((3 -x)/3)

The graph plots the function and its inverse. They are reflections of each other over the line y=x. (That's one way you can tell you have the correct inverse function.)
