    Solve Inverse Trig Function with Domain [-π/2, π/2] | Step-by-Step Guide

    The exact wording for this problem: f(x) = 3x + 1 + \sin(x) with domain [-\pi/2, \pi/2]. Without your calculator, determine the value of f^{-1}(1). Since this is an inverse function, I was going to try to solve for the inverse function, then solve for f^{-1}(1)
