QuestionFind the inverse of the function. f(x)=95x3f(x)=9-5 x^{3}
Hint: The cube root is the same as an exponent of 1/31 / 3, so for 19x3\sqrt[3]{19 x}, you could type in (19x)(1/3)\left(19^{*} x\right)^{\wedge}(1 / 3). Remember your parentheses!

STEP 1

1. The function given is f(x)=95x3 f(x) = 9 - 5x^3 .
2. To find the inverse function, we need to solve for x x in terms of y y (where y=f(x) y = f(x) ).
3. The inverse function, denoted as f1(y) f^{-1}(y) , will be expressed in terms of y y .

STEP 2

1. Set f(x)=y f(x) = y and solve for x x .
2. Express x x in terms of y y .
3. Write the inverse function f1(y) f^{-1}(y) .

STEP 3

Set f(x)=y f(x) = y .
y=95x3 y = 9 - 5x^3

STEP 4

Isolate the term involving x x .
y9=5x3 y - 9 = -5x^3

STEP 5

Divide both sides by 5 -5 to solve for x3 x^3 .
x3=9y5 x^3 = \frac{9 - y}{5}

STEP 6

Take the cube root of both sides to solve for x x .
x=(9y5)1/3 x = \left( \frac{9 - y}{5} \right)^{1/3}

STEP 7

Write the inverse function f1(y) f^{-1}(y) .
f1(y)=(9y5)1/3 f^{-1}(y) = \left( \frac{9 - y}{5} \right)^{1/3}
The inverse function of f(x)=95x3 f(x) = 9 - 5x^3 is:
f1(y)=(9y5)1/3 f^{-1}(y) = \left( \frac{9 - y}{5} \right)^{1/3}
