Math Problem Statement
For the function f, of, x, equals, cube root of, x, to the power 5 , minus, 3, end cube rootf(x)= 3
x 5 −3 , find f, to the power minus 1 , left parenthesis, x, right parenthesisf −1 (x).
Solution
The given function is , and we are asked to find its inverse, .
To find the inverse function, we need to follow these steps:
-
Express the function equation:
-
Swap and :
-
Solve for :
First, eliminate the cube root by cubing both sides:
-
Isolate :
-
Solve for :
Now take the fifth root of both sides:
Thus, the inverse function is:
