Math Problem Statement

Solution

To find the inverse function f1(x)f^{-1}(x) for the given function f(x)=x593f(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x - 5}{9}}, we will follow these steps:

  1. Rewrite the function as an equation: y=x593y = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x - 5}{9}}

  2. Swap xx and yy to find the inverse: x=y593x = \sqrt[3]{\frac{y - 5}{9}}

  3. Cube both sides to eliminate the cube root: x3=y59x^3 = \frac{y - 5}{9}

  4. Multiply both sides by 9: 9x3=y59x^3 = y - 5

  5. Add 5 to both sides to solve for yy: y=9x3+5y = 9x^3 + 5

So, the inverse function is: f1(x)=9x3+5f^{-1}(x) = 9x^3 + 5
