f^-1(x) is the inverse function of f(x).

let y = f(x).

you get y = 1/(2x^3-9)

replace y with x and x with y and you get:

x = 1/(2y^3-9)

that's your inverse equation.

what's left is to solve for y if you can.

if not, go with it the way it is.

this one can be solved for y.

start with x = 1/(2y^3-9)

multiply both sides of the equation by (2y^3-9) and divide both sides of the equation by x.

you will get:

2y^3 - 9 = 1/x

add 9 to both sides of the equation to get:

2y^3 = 1/x + 9

since 1/x + 9 is the same as (1+9x)/x, the equation becomes:

2y^3 = (1+9x)/x

divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get:

y^3 = (1+9x)/(2x)

take the third root of both sides of the equation to get:

y = ((1+9x)/(2x))^(1/3)

that's your inverse equation after you have solved for y.

the grpah of the equation plus its inverse is shown below.

the graphs also includes the line y = x which they need to be a reflection of in order to be inverse equations.

the graph also includes lines y = -x + 5 and y = -x - 5 thst shows that the points are reflections about the line y = x.

that's because (x,y) on the original equation equals (y,x) on the inverse equation.
