Answer

-$\frac{1}{6}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)$ = $5-2x^{3}$, $a$ = $7$ $5-2x^{3}$ = $7$ $2x^{3}+2$ = $0$ $2(x+1)(x^{2}-x+1)$ = $0$ $x$ = -$1$ $f(-1)$ = $7$ $so$ $f^{-1}$$(7)$ = -$1$ ($f^{-1}$)'$(7)$ = $\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(7))}$ = $\frac{1}{f'(-1)}$ $f'(x)$ = -$6x^{2}$ $f'(-1)$ = -$6(-1)^{2}$ = -$6$ $so$ ($f^{-1}$)'$(7)$ = $\frac{1}{f'(-1)}$ = -$\frac{1}{6}$
