does f(x)= x^3-5x+10 have an inverse function?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

You can answer this. Solve for \(x\) in terms of \(y\)

OpenStudy (debbieg):

Notice that \[f(0)=f(\sqrt{5})=f(-\sqrt{5})\] What does that tell you about the possibility of an inverse existing?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

Do you need to prove its a bijection?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Do it! Prove that sh*t!

OpenStudy (debbieg):

The question says "does it have an inverse". If you can show that a y exists for which there is more than one x mapping to it, you're done - no inverse. That sh*t is proved! :) lol
