Homework Statement
The function f is defined by f(x) = x^3
Find an expression for g(x) in terms of x in each of the following cases.
(a) f [ g(x) ] = x+1
(b) g [ f(x) ] = x+1
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I got the same answer both times. g(x) = cubic route (x+1). Because if I put the cubic route of x+1 in f(x), it is cubed, and I'm left with x+1.
For (b) its the same. If I have cubic route of (x+1), and then cube it, I'm left with x+1. Is this correct?
I'd appreciate some help :)
