Find the Inverse y=x^3+7

$y = x^{3} + 7$

Step 1

Interchange the variables.

$x = y^{3} + 7$

Step 2

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $y^{3} + 7 = x$ .

$y^{3} + 7 = x$

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$y^{3} = x - 7$

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$y = \sqrt[3]{x - 7}$

Step 3

Replace $y$ with $f^{- 1} (x)$ to show the final answer.

$f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 7}$

Step 4

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 7}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = x^{3} + 7$ .

To verify the inverse, check if $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ .

Evaluate $f^{- 1} (f (x))$ .

Set up the composite result function.

$f^{- 1} (f (x))$

Evaluate $f^{- 1} (x^{3} + 7)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (x^{3} + 7) = \sqrt[3]{(x^{3} + 7) - 7}$

Subtract $7$ from $7$ .

$f^{- 1} (x^{3} + 7) = \sqrt[3]{x^{3} + 0}$

Add $x^{3}$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (x^{3} + 7) = \sqrt[3]{x^{3}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming real numbers.

$f^{- 1} (x^{3} + 7) = x$

Evaluate $f (f^{- 1} (x))$ .

Set up the composite result function.

$f (f^{- 1} (x))$

Evaluate $f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7})$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = {(\sqrt[3]{x - 7})}^{3} + 7$

Rewrite ${\sqrt[3]{x - 7}}^{3}$ as $x - 7$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt[3]{x - 7}$ as ${(x - 7)}^{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = {({(x - 7)}^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3} + 7$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = {(x - 7)}^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} + 7$

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $3$ .

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = {(x - 7)}^{\frac{3}{3}} + 7$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = {(x - 7)}^{\frac{3}{3}} + 7$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = (x - 7) + 7$

Simplify.

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = x - 7 + 7$

Combine the opposite terms in $x - 7 + 7$ .

Add $- 7$ and $7$ .

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f (\sqrt[3]{x - 7}) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 7}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = x^{3} + 7$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[3]{x - 7}$
