Math Problem Statement

Which of the following is the inverse of y=(x−3)3y=(x−3)3?

A.y=x−3−−−−−√3y=x−33

B.y=x+3−−−−−√3y=x+33

C.y=x−−√3−3y=x3−3

D.y=x−−√3+3y=x3+3

Solution

To find the inverse of the given function y=(x3)3y = (x - 3)^3, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the equation y=(x3)3y = (x - 3)^3.
  2. Swap xx and yy to find the inverse: x=(y3)3x = (y - 3)^3
  3. Now, solve for yy. Take the cube root of both sides: x3=y3\sqrt[3]{x} = y - 3
  4. Add 3 to both sides: y=x3+3y = \sqrt[3]{x} + 3

So, the inverse function is y=x3+3y = \sqrt[3]{x} + 3.

Thus, the correct answer is: D. y=x3+3y = \sqrt[3]{x} + 3
