Given that $f(3)=5$ and $f(3x)=f(x)+2$ for all $x$, find $f^{-1}(11)$.
If f(3) = 5 and f(3x) = f(x) + 2, then .....
f(3x) = f(3) + 2 implies that x = 3
So
f(3 * 3) = f(3) + 2
f(9) = 5 + 2
f(9) = 7
And
f(3x) = f(9) + 2 implies that x = 9...so.....
f(3*9) = f(9) + 2
f(27) = 9
And
f(3x) = f(27) + 2 implies that x = 27
f(3 * 27) = f(27) + 2
f(81) = 9 + 2
f(81) = 11
And (81, 11) is on the original graph .....so (11, 81) is on the inverse
So
f-1(11) = 81
