Answer

The correct match that best describes the inverse of the equation $y=5{{x}^{3}}+10$ is option (C) $y=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-10}{5}}$. The correct match that best describes the inverse of the equation $y={{\left( 5x+10 \right)}^{3}}$ is option (A) $y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}-10}{5}$. The correct match that best describes the inverse of the equation $y=5{{\left( x+10 \right)}^{3}}$ is option (B)$y=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x}{5}}-10$. The correct match that best describes the inverse of the equation $y={{\left( 5x \right)}^{3}}+10$ is option (D) $y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x-10}}{5}$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the first provided function, $y=5{{x}^{3}}+10$ Now, for the inverse of the above function, first show the provided function is one-one Subtract $10$ from both sides of the above equation $y-10=5{{x}^{3}}$ Divide both side by $5$ $\frac{y-10}{5}={{x}^{3}}$ Take the cube root on both sides of the above equation $\sqrt[3]{\frac{y-10}{5}}=x$ Switching x and y: $\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-10}{5}}=y$ Or $y=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-10}{5}}$ Thus, the correct option is (C). $y=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x-10}{5}}$. Consider the second provided function, $y={{\left( 5x+10 \right)}^{3}}$ Take the cube root on both side of the above equation $\sqrt[3]{y}=5x+10$ Subtract $10$ from both sides of the above equation $\sqrt[3]{y}-10=5x$ Divide both sides by $5$ $\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}-10}{5}=x$ Switch x and y: $\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}-10}{5}=y$ Or $y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}-10}{5}$ Therefore, the correct option is (A). $y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}-10}{5}$. Consider the third provided function: $y=5{{\left( x+10 \right)}^{3}}$ Divide both side by $5$, $\frac{y}{5}={{\left( x+10 \right)}^{3}}$ Take the cube root on both side of the above equation, $\sqrt[3]{\frac{y}{5}}=x+10$ Subtract $10$ from both sides of the above equation, $\sqrt[3]{\frac{y}{5}}-10=x$ Switch x and y: $\sqrt[3]{\frac{x}{5}}-10=y$ Or $y=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x}{5}}-10$ Thus, the correct option is (B). $y=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x}{5}}-10$. Consider the fourth provided function: $y={{\left( 5x \right)}^{3}}+10$ Subtract $10$ from both sides of the above equation $y-10={{\left( 5x \right)}^{3}}$ Take the cube root on both sides of the above equation $\sqrt[3]{y-10}=5x$ Divide both sides by $5$ $\frac{\sqrt[3]{y-10}}{5}=x$ Switch x and y: $\frac{\sqrt[3]{x-10}}{5}=y$ Or $y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x-10}}{5}$ Thus, the correct option is (D). $y=\frac{\sqrt[3]{x-10}}{5}$.
