Answer

3. Determine the lattice points: Evaluate the inverse function for integer values of x and check if they give integer values for y.

Steps

Step 1 ：1. Write the inverse of the function: \( y = 3^{-x-1} - 2 \) becomes \( x = 3^{-y-1} - 2 \).

Step 2 ：2. Solve for y: \( y = -(\log_{3}(x+2) + 1) \).

Step 3 ：3. Determine the lattice points: Evaluate the inverse function for integer values of x and check if they give integer values for y.
