Math Problem Statement
let f(x) = cube root of x, solve each of the ff equations for x
(f(x))^-1 = 11, then x = f^-1(x) = 11, then x = f(x^-1) = 11, then x =
Solution
Let's solve each equation step by step, given .
1.
We know that , so:
This implies:
Now, solve for :
Cube both sides:
Thus, .
2.
represents the inverse of , where . The inverse of is .
Given:
This means:
Solve for :
So, (or approximately ).
3.
We know , so:
[ f(x^{-1}) = \sqrt[3]{x^{-1}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}} ]
Given:
This is the same as the first equation:
Cube both sides:
Thus, .
