Answer

$${f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right) = \root 3 \of {x - 2} $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & f\left( x \right) = {x^3} + 2 \cr & {\text{Let }}y = f\left( x \right) \cr & y = {x^3} + 2 \cr & {\text{Interchange }}x{\text{ and }}y \cr & x = {y^3} + 2 \cr & {\text{Solve for }}y \cr & x - 2 = {y^3} \cr & y = \root 3 \of {x - 2} \cr & {\text{Let }}y = {f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right) \cr & {f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right) = \root 3 \of {x - 2} \cr & \cr & \left( {\text{c}} \right) \cr & *{f^{ - 1}}\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right) = \root 3 \of {{x^3} + 2 - 2} \cr & = \root 3 \of {{x^3}} \cr & = x \cr & *f\left( {{f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right)} \right) = {\left( {\root 3 \of {x - 2} } \right)^3} + 2 \cr & = x - 2 + 2 \cr & = x \cr & \cr & \left( {\text{d}} \right){\text{Domain of }}f\left( x \right) = {\text{Range }}{f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right) = \left( { - \infty ,\infty } \right) \cr & {\text{Domain of }}{f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right) = {\text{Range }}f\left( x \right) = \left( { - \infty ,\infty } \right) \cr & \cr & \left( {\text{c}} \right){\text{Graph}} \cr} $$
