Textbook Question
Finding all inverses Find all the inverses associated with the following functions, and state their domains.
ƒ(x) = (x + 1)³

1
Step 1: To find the inverse of the function , start by replacing with . This gives us the equation .
Step 2: Swap the variables and to begin solving for the inverse. This results in the equation .
Step 3: Solve for by taking the cube root of both sides to isolate . This gives .
Step 4: Isolate by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation. This results in .
Step 5: The inverse function is . The domain of the inverse function is all real numbers, , since the cube root function is defined for all real numbers.
