Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Cube Root Function
The cube root function, denoted as f(x) = ³√x, is a mathematical function that returns the number which, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number x. This function is defined for all real numbers, including negative values, and is characterized by its odd symmetry about the origin.

Imaginary Roots with the Square Root Property
Function Evaluation
Function evaluation involves substituting a specific value into a function to determine the output. For example, to find f(28) for the function f(x) = ³√x−1, you replace x with 28, resulting in f(28) = ³√28 - 1. This process is essential for calculating specific function values.

Evaluating Composed Functions
Domain of the Function
The domain of a function refers to the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. For the cube root function, the domain is all real numbers, meaning it can accept any real number, including negative numbers, which is important when evaluating the function at various inputs.
