Whether you're asking for the DOMAIN of the given function or of its inverse,

the domain is the same, ALL REALS!!

You can find the inverse of many relatively simple functions without having to switch the x and y and solve for the new y, as shown by the other tutor.


When you work the problem that way, after you switch the x and y the operations you need to perform to solve for the new y are (1) subtract 2, (2) take the cube root, and (3) add 1 -- leading to the inverse function 


You can find that inverse without doing the algebra by using the concept that the inverse function "gets you back where you started".


An inverse function, to "get you back where you started", has to perform the opposite operations, and in the opposite order, compared to the given function.


The given function performs the following sequence of operations on the input value:

(1) subtract 1

(2) raise to power 3

(3) add 2


The inverse function therefore needs to perform the following sequence of operations:

(1) subtract 2

(2) take the cube root

(3) add 1


which gives the inverse function as

 -->  -->  --> 


The steps you perform in forming this inverse function are exactly the steps you need to perform if you switch the x and y and solve for the new y -- but you don't need to do all that algebra.
