State whether it’s a function or not

[tex]\boxed{c. \ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}}}[/tex]
Let's find the inverse function of [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x^3}[/tex] to know what item we must choose as correct. So let's apply this steps:
a) Use the Horizontal Line Test to decide whether [tex]f[/tex] has an inverse function.
As shown in the graph below there is no any horizontal line that intersects the graph of [tex]f[/tex] at more than one point. Thus, the function is one-to-one and has an inverse function. Therefore, the inverse is a function..
b) Replace [tex]f(x)[/tex] by [tex]y[/tex] in the equation for [tex]f(x)[/tex].
[tex]y=\frac{1}{x^3}[/tex]
c) Interchange the roles of [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] and solve for [tex]y[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1}{y^3} \\ \\ \therefore y^3=\frac{1}{x} \\ \\ \therefore y=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}}[/tex]
d) Replace [tex]y[/tex] by [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] in the new equation.
[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}}[/tex]
So the correct option is:
[tex]c. \ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}}[/tex]
Answer:
Choice C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given a function :
f(x) = 1/x³
We have to find the inverse of function.
let y = f(x) we get,
y = 1/x³
Replacing x and y we get,
x = 1/y³
y³ = 1/x
Taking third roots on both sides we get,
y = 1/∛x
Replacing y to f⁻¹ (x) we get,
f⁻¹ (x)= 1/∛x is the inverse of f(x) = 1/x³.
So, As it is one to one and inverse of function exist so it is a function.
