Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the encoded message defined by the function f(x) = x³-1, the inverse function that the decoder would need when the message is received can be expressed as thus:
let the inverse of the function be represented as y such that y = x³-1.
Making x the subject of the formula from the equation above;
x³ = y+1
Taking the cube root of both sides:
∛x³ = ∛(y+1)
x = ∛(y+1)
replacing y with x:
y = ∛(x+1)
f⁻¹(x) = ∛(x+1)
The encoded message is the inverse function ∛(x+1)
