SOLUTION: This is a question on inverse functions.
Let y=f(x)=5x^3+8
The question wants the answer in the form y= cube root a(x)+b. where a and b are coefficients. I have come up with

Question 56078: This is a question on inverse functions.
Let y=f(x)=5x^3+8
The question wants the answer in the form y= cube root a(x)+b. where a and b are coefficients. I have come up with 1/5 for coeffcient a and I am thinking -(8/5) for coefficient b, but it does not seem to work. Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! As I explained in the previous exercise, I interchange the x and y, and solve for y.
y = 5x^3 + 8
Step 1: Interchange the x and y:
x = 5y^3 + 8
Step 2: Solve for y:
x-8 = 5y^3
Take the cube root of each side:
This is what I got!! I think you are correct!! Why do you think it does not work???
