Answer: y=x³+2 or f⁻¹(x)=x³+2

Explanation:

To find the inverse of the radical function, we replace y with x and x with y. Then, you solve for y.


y=\sqrt[3]{x-2} [replace y with x and x with y]


x=\sqrt[3]{y-2} [cube both sides to cancel out the cubed root]


x^3=y-2 [add both sides by 2]


x^3+2=y

Now that we have switched the variables and solved for y, we know that the inverse function is y=x³+2 or f⁻¹(x)=x³+2.
