Q.

  1. Replace with yy: To find the inverse, first replace g(x)g(x) with yy:y=x38+16y = \frac{x^3}{8} + 16
  2. Swap x and y: Now, swap x and y to find the inverse: x=y38+16x = \frac{y^3}{8} + 16
  3. Isolate cubic term: Subtract 1616 from both sides to isolate the cubic term:\newlinex16=y38x - 16 = \frac{y^3}{8}
  4. Multiply by 88: Multiply both sides by 88 to get rid of the denominator: 8(x16)=y38(x - 16) = y^3
  5. Take cube root: Now take the cube root of both sides to solve for yy:y=8(x16)3y = \sqrt[3]{8(x - 16)}
  6. Simplify expression: Simplify the cube root expression: y=2×x163y = 2 \times \sqrt[3]{x - 16}
  7. Replace with inverse function: Replace yy with g1(x)g^{-1}(x) to denote the inverse function:\newlineg1(x)=2x163g^{-1}(x) = 2 \cdot \sqrt[3]{x - 16}
