Finding inverse function of a function with multiple variable

612 Views Asked by At

First, I'll say that english isn't my first language and that I'm not studying math in english, so I'll probably say some stuff wrong.

Anyway, what I was wondering is how to find the inverse function of a function that has multiple variables? Because in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ (in two dimensions), it's pretty simple, you can just exchange x and y and then isolate y. But is it possible in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, in $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ or even in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ ?

To make it clearer, take the simplest function possible, like: $z=x+y$ (another one could do the job too, I just didn't have a particular function in mind) What will be the inverse function? In my head the whole concept of inverse function in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, when $n\gt2$, isn't clear..

If you can help me or if I'm not clear enough, let me know! Thanks!
