Chapter 4 - Inverse, Exponential, and Logarithmic Functions - 4.1 Inverse Functions - 4.1 Exercises - Page 418: 63

Answer

(a) $f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3] {x-1}$ (b) see graph (c) $f(x)$ domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ and range $(-\infty,\infty)$, $f^{-1}(x)$ domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ and range $(-\infty,\infty)$.

Work Step by Step

(a) This function $f(x)=x^3+1$ is one-to-one. Find the inverse as the following: $y=x^3+1\longrightarrow x=\sqrt[3] {y-1}\longrightarrow f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3] {x-1}$ (b) see graph (c) $f(x)$ domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ and range $(-\infty,\infty)$, $f^{-1}(x)$ domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ and range $(-\infty,\infty)$.
