two more questions on my homework that I dont know how to do PLEASE HELP one to one functions attaching

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres the second

hero (hero):

The instructions are given on the assignment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but I tried solving for y and I got (x-2)^1/3 = wrong x^(1/3)-2 = wrong and other variations. I dont know what I'm doing wrong

hero (hero):

Show the work you did to arrive at that result, and I'll help you discover where you went wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-2)=cube root(y) then multiplied both sides by 1/3 got (x-2)^1/3=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other one I did x=cube root(y)+2 x^(1/3)=y+2 x^(1/3)-2=y

hero (hero):

So you have \(y = \sqrt[3]{x} + 2\) You swapped x and y: \(x = \sqrt[3]{y} + 2\) Afterwards you subtracted 2 from both sides: \(x - 2 = \sqrt[3]{y}\) The next step is to CUBE both sides, rather multiply by 1/3 \((x - 2)^3 = y\)

hero (hero):

And obviously y becomes \(f^{-1}(x)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay that makes sense

hero (hero):

You're welcome.
