Homework Statement
f: R -> R defined by f(x) = x^3 + 1
a) determine if it is one to one
b)find its inverse
c) calculate (f o f)
Homework Equations
if f(x) is one to one, if a = b, f(a) = f(b)
The Attempt at a Solution
a) yes it is because a^3 + 1 can't equal to b^3 + 1 unless a = b, by definition, this function is onto
b)the inverse is f^-1 (x) = (x - 1)^(1/3)
c) f o f = f(f(x) = f(x^3 + 1) = (x^3 + 1)^3 + 1
just want to make sure i got this, thanks :)
