Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(x-8)^(1/3) +2
Discussion:
To find the inverse of a function swap the values of x and y in the original equation y = (x-2)^3 +8 and solve for y.
y = (x-2)^3 +8 => original function. swap x and y values
x = (y-2)^3 + 8 => subtract 8 from both sides
x - 8 = (y -2)^3 => take cube root of both sides
(x-8)^(1/3) = y - 2 => add 2 to both sides
(x-8)^(1/3) +2 = y => y is the inverse
Thank you,

You can express the edge lengths in terms of "cubes" or you divide the total volume by the volume of a cube. It works either way.
Edge lengths are
.. 80 cubes by 8 cutes by 13 cubes
so total volume is
.. (80 * 8 * 13) = 8320 cubes
In cubic inches, the volume is
.. (20 in)*(2 in)*(3 1/4 in) = 130 in^3.
The volume of a 1/4-in cube is (1/4 in)^3 = 1/64 in^3.
Then the number of cubes that will fit in the prism is
.. (130 in^3)/(1/64 in^3) = 8320 . . . . cubes
8320 cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism.
I believe 25 has to be added as
(x*5)^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25
If you would like to write x^4y - 4x^2y - 5y in a completely factored form, you can do this using the following steps:
x^4y - 4x^2y - 5y = y * (x^4 - 4x^2 - 5) = y * (x^2 + 1) * (x^2 - 5)
The correct result would be <span>y * (x^2 + 1) * (x^2 - 5).</span>
