Final answer:

The inverse operation of cubing (raising a number to the third power) is the cube root, which finds a number that, when cubed, returns the original number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse operation of cubed power, which is raising a number to the third power, is known as the cube root. The cube root of a number x is a value that, when cubed, gives back the number x. In mathematical terms, if y is the cube of x (y = x3), then x is the cube root of y (x = 3√y).

For example, the cube root of 27 is 3 because 33 (3 × 3 × 3) equals 27. Similarly, just as subtraction is the inverse of addition and division is the inverse of multiplication, the cube root function is the inverse of the cubing function.

The inverse operation is a cubed root. It is a square root symbol with a small 3 to the left of the radical. The cubed root of x is a number, when cubed, gives x. For example,
\sqrt[3]{8} =2.
