Please help with inverse functions, I am lost when it comes to the fraction exponents. (x^3+1)^1/4

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\large (x^3+1)^\frac14\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it (x^4-1)^3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im looking for the inverse, that was just the original problem, but thanks!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Alright, for the inverse: \[\Large y = (x^3+1)^\frac14\]Make x the subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=(y^3+1)^1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then i am getting (x^4-1)^1/3 does that sounds right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Hold on. Let me draw.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, thanks! that is the same as my second answer, (x^3-1)^1/3 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant x^4
