How Do You Find The inverse function of g(x)=x^3,f(x)=1/8x-3?

We'll find the inverse of the function
f(x).


f(x)=1/(8x-3)


We'll note
f(x) as y, so, y = f(x) = 1/(8x-3)


Now, we'll multiply the
denominator (8x-3) by y:


y* (8x-3) =
1


We'll remove the
brackets:


8xy - 3y = 1


We'll
isolate y to the left side. For this reason, we'll add 3y both
sides:


8xy = 1 + 3y


We'll
divide by 8y both sides:


x =
(1+3y)/8y


The expression of the inverted function
is:


f(y) =
(1+3y)/8y


 Conventionally, a function has as variable x,
so, we'll re-write the inverse
function:


f^-1(x) =
(1+3x)/8x


To determine the inverse function
of g(x), we'll cover the same ground.


First, we'll note the
function g(x) = y.


g(x) = y =
x^3


We'll keep  y = x^3.


We'll
raise to the power (1/3) both sides:


 y^(1/3) =
x


The inverse function of g(x)
is:


g^-1(x) =
x^(1/3)

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
