How do you find the inverse of #f(x)=7#?

This function has no inverse since it is not one to one.

Explanation:

Strictly speaking, the function #f(x) = 7# only has an inverse if its domain has at most one element.

However, we usually assume a default domain such as the Real numbers, #RR#, for which #f(x)# is not one-one. For example, #f(0) = f(1) = 7#, so #f^(-1)(7)# would not be well defined.
