Answer

$ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3] (x+5)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function, $f(x)=x^{3}-5$. First, we must replace $f(x)$ with y. $y=x^{3}-5$ Next, interchange x and y. $x=y^{3}-5$ Next, solve for y by adding 5 to both sides. $y^{3}=x+5$ Take the cube root of both sides. $\sqrt[3] (y^{3})=y=\sqrt[3] (x+5)$ Finally, replace y with $f^{-1}(x)$. $ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3] (x+5)$
