Answer:


f^(-1) means the inverse function


f^(-1) =
\sqrt[3]{(x + 6)/5}

Explanation:


f^(-1) means the inverse function

to find an inverse function, flip the x and y variables and solve for y

f(x) = 5x^3 - 6

y = 5x^3 - 6

x = 5y^3 - 6

x + 6 = 5y^3

(x + 6)/5 = y^3


\sqrt[3]{(x + 6)/5} = y
