they all are right^

hero · Answer

saifoo, lol

anonymous · Answer

The operations are inverses. You see that cubing as $$pk51$$ wrote is basically $$x^3 = x * x * x$$

anonymous · Answer

a cubing function is your directions to a destination.  a cube root function are your directions back home. they take you from and to the same place(s), just in reverse order. 

cube is to cube root as addition is to subtraction

anonymous · Answer

cubing a function is multiplying the number by itself and than once again like axaxa=a^3
cube root is $$\sqrt[3]{a}$$ this equals a/a/a

anonymous · Answer

right, as $$super$$ wrote above
