Question:

If $f : R \to R$ be the function defined by $f(x) = x^3 + 5$, then $f^{-1}(x)$ is

Options:

$(x + 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$(x - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$(5 - x)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$5 - x$

Correct Answer:

$(x - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $(x - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ ##

Given that, $f(x) = x^3 + 5$

Let $y = x^3 + 5 \Rightarrow x^3 = y - 5$

$x = (y - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}} \Rightarrow f(x)^{-1} = (x - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
