Answer

So, the inverse function is f1(x)=125x3.

Steps

Step 1 :f1(x) is defined as the number y such that f(y)=x. Thus, we solve the equation y135=x.

Step 2 :Multiplying both sides by 5, we have y13=5x.

Step 3 :Now, we raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root: (y13)3=(5x)3.

Step 4 :This simplifies to y=125x3.

Step 5 :So, the inverse function is f1(x)=125x3.
