![I have generally seen f^(−1) used for inverse of f. x=f^(−1) (y) f^(−1) is f inverse.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q3341.png)
$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{generally}\:\mathrm{seen}\:{f}^{−\mathrm{1}} \:\mathrm{used}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{inverse} \\ $$$$\mathrm{of}\:{f}. \\ $$$${x}={f}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left({y}\right) \\ $$$${f}^{−\mathrm{1}} \:{is}\:{f}\:{inverse}. \\ $$
