Hello, please consider the following.


(\forall x \in \mathbb{R}) \\ \\ x=(f^(-1)of)(x)\\\\=(fof^(-1))(x)\\\\=f(f^(-1)(x))\\\\=6\left( f^(-1)(x) \right) ^3-8 = x\\\\\text{We need to express }f^(-1)(x) \text{ in function of x.}\\\\\text{Let's do it!}


6\left( f^(-1)(x) \right) ^3-8 = x\\\\\left( f^(-1)(x) \right) ^3 =(x+8)/(6)\\\\\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f^(-1)(x)=\sqrt[3]{(x+8)/(6)}\ \ }

Thank you
