What is the inverse of the function f(x) = x3 + 5 ?

A B
with domain R with domain {x: x ∈ R | x > 5}

C D
with domain R with domain {x: x ∈ R | x < -5}

Congratulations, that is the right answer.

f(x) = x3 + 5

Put y for f(x) ⇒ y = x3 + 5

Subtract 5 from both sides ⇒ y − 5 = x3

Swap sides ⇒ x3 = y − 5

Let's plot them both in terms of x ... so it is now f-1(x), not f-1(y):

f and f-1 are reflections of each other in the line y = x

Note that in this case there are no restrictions on the domain or range. They are both R.
