Answer

${f}^{-1}$(${x}$)=$\sqrt[3] {x-2}$

Work Step by Step

${y}$=${x}^{3}$+2 Switch x and y then solve for y to find inverse: ${x}$=${y}^{3}$+2 ${x-2}$=${y}^{3}$ $\sqrt[3] {x-2}$=${y}$=${f}^{-1}$ ${f}^{-1}$($f{(x)}$)=x ${f}^{-1}$($f{(x)}$)=$\sqrt[3] {{x}^{3}+2-2}$ ${f}^{-1}$($f{(x)}$)=$\sqrt[3] {{x}^{3}}$ ${f}^{-1}$($f{(x)}$)=x
