Answer

So, the solution to the inequality is \(x < \boxed{18.49}\) and \(x > \boxed{-18.49}\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, cube both sides of the inequality to remove the cube root. This gives us \(-x^{2}-1 > -343\).

Step 2 :Next, isolate \(x^{2}\) by adding 1 to both sides and multiplying by -1. This gives us \(x^{2} < 342\).

Step 3 :Finally, solve for \(x\) by taking the square root of both sides. This gives us \(x < \sqrt{342}\) and \(x > -\sqrt{342}\).

Step 4 :Calculating the square root of 342 gives approximately 18.49.

Step 5 :So, the solution to the inequality is \(x < \boxed{18.49}\) and \(x > \boxed{-18.49}\).
