(a)
To find: The formula that expresses f algebraically.
Answer to Problem 3T
The formula that expresses f algebraically is
Explanation of Solution
The given description is that “subtract 2, then cube the result”,
Let the function bex,
Subtract 2 from the function.
Cube the result of the above function.
Hence, the formula that expresses f algebraically is

(d)
To explain: The f has inverse and verbal description for
Answer to Problem 3T
Inverse can check by horizontal line test and verbal description for
Explanation of Solution
Check by horizontal line test,
The given function is,
Take cube root of both side,
Add 2 on both side,
So, the inverse of f is
Inverse can check by horizontal line test and verbal description for
(e)
To find: The formula for algebraic expression of
Answer to Problem 3T
The inverse of f is
Explanation of Solution
From part (a) the function is,
Take cube root on both side of the function,
Add 2 on both sides of the function,
Hence, the inverse of f is
