\[\large f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} − 3 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve
\[\large x=\sqrt[3]{y}-3\] for \(y\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
takes only two steps
1) add 3
2) cube
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^{3}+27 = y?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh no

\[(x+3)^3\neq x^3+27\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x=\sqrt[3]{y}-3\\
x+3=\sqrt[3]{y}\\
(x+3)^3=y\] so
\[f^{-1}(x)=(x+3)^3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohhhh okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how you been, haven't seen you in a while?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I've been good. I had a baby back in August so I've been busy with her and my other baby. But I'm relearning stuff before I go back to school next year.

oh , her, doh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good luck!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hahaa thanks.
Yeah my first was a boy my second was a girl.
One more question. How do I know if it's a function?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is a function because , well because it is
\[g(x)=(x+3)^3\] is a function, put in a number, get out a number
you would know it was NOT a function if you had say a \(\pm\) in it
like if you solve
\[x=y^2\] for \(y\) you would have to say
\[y=\pm\sqrt{x}\] and that is NOT a function
