Isn't this just repeating my question? Do you substitute the (3) for f? I'm confused as to how to set this up?

It may seem like I am repeating your question but I provided you the formal definition of inverse function in the first line. 
I used x and y instead of numbers. 
Your function is taking 3 and yielding 2. When the inverse of the function takes 2, it will yield 3. 
Does this make sense?
