Math Problem Statement

3x+5^3\sqrt{x}+5 f1f^{-1}

Solution

It seems you are asking for the inverse of a function involving the cube root of xx. Let's first define the function and then find its inverse step by step.

Step 1: Define the function

Given: f(x)=3x+5f(x) = ^3\sqrt{x} + 5 This can be rewritten as: f(x)=x13+5f(x) = x^{\frac{1}{3}} + 5

Step 2: Swap f(x)f(x) and xx

To find the inverse, swap f(x)f(x) with xx and solve for yy: x=y13+5x = y^{\frac{1}{3}} + 5

Step 3: Solve for yy

Now, subtract 5 from both sides: x5=y13x - 5 = y^{\frac{1}{3}}

Next, cube both sides to get rid of the cube root: (x5)3=y(x - 5)^3 = y

Step 4: Express the inverse

The inverse function is: f1(x)=(x5)3f^{-1}(x) = (x - 5)^3

Final Answer:

f1(x)=(x5)3f^{-1}(x) = (x - 5)^3

Would you like further details or have any questions about this?


Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the domain and range of the original function f(x)=3x+5f(x) = ^3\sqrt{x} + 5?
  2. How does the graph of the original function compare to the graph of its inverse?
  3. What would change if we had f(x)=nx+5f(x) = ^n\sqrt{x} + 5 for some other value of nn?
  4. Can you generalize the process of finding inverses for any root-based function?
  5. How do you check if two functions are inverses of each other?

Tip: When finding the inverse of a function, always ensure the original function is one-to-one (passes the horizontal line test) to guarantee that the inverse is valid.
