Does anyone know an EASY way to find the exact value of an inverse function?

The best attempt you have (to my knowledge) is to replace y for x (if you're dealing with 1 independent variable) and try to solve it. Just be weary of the domain restrictions!!

That is just the philosophical question of what an exact value is.
For me $\sin 33$ is as exact as $\sin^{-1} 0.766$ or $5^{2.5}$. Because I know I can approximate it as close as I like. So as there is an algorithm to find the value of the inverse function to an arbitrary precision, every inverse is as exact as the function itself.
