OpenStudy (chaise):

f(x)=(2x-x^3)^5 Inverse will be: 1/((2x-x^3)^5) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2F%28%282x-x^3%29^5%29

Have you tried taking the derivative, inversing, and multiplying by -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This requires solving a cubic to do... you sure the question is to find the inverse function of \[f(x)=(2x-x^3)^5\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. im sure. it is stated in the book.

OpenStudy (nikvist):

f(x) is not bijective function. Inverse function does not exist. example \[f(0)=f(\pm\sqrt{2})=0\]

Well spotted nikvist!
