Find the Inverse f(x)=x^3-1

Problem

ƒ(x)=x3−1

Solution

1. Replace ƒ(x) with y to set up the equation for the inverse.

y=x3−1

2. Interchange the variables x and y to begin solving for the inverse function.

x=y3−1

3. Isolate the y3 term by adding 1 to both sides of the equation.

x+1=y3

4. Solve for y by taking the cube root of both sides.

y=√(3,x+1)

5. Replace y with ƒ(x)(−1) to write the final inverse function notation.

ƒ(x)(−1)=√(3,x+1)

Final Answer

ƒ(x)(−1)=√(3,x+1)
