ngl cant remember how to do these things, pls help

twin tapir
#

its cube root of x

#

Since you swap the x and y basically

#

y=x^3

#

then x=y^3

#

y=cuberoot of x

#

then ig u could ssubstitute values of x and y

#

@lilac bridge

#

but obv u know the general shape

lilac bridge
#

yeah ik its the cube root of X but when plotting the coordinates, idk if id do (cube root of 2, 2) as a plot

twin tapir
#

no

#

you would do (2, cube root of 2)

#

f(x) = cuberoot(x)

#

so lets say u substitute to

#

the coordinate would be (2, cube root of 2)

lilac bridge
#

if ur cube rooting the x, wouldnt it be then (cube root 2, 8)?

twin tapir
#

nononno

twin tapir
lilac bridge
#

why u substituting cube root of 2?

twin tapir
#

nah im just saying

#

to show how it works

#

basically f(2)=cube root 2

#

therefore f(x)=cube root x

#

The x value is like the variable that you are changing

#

(substituting)

#

and then y changes according to x

Basically the inverse is y= cube root of x
Meaning if I sub x=8... I would get the y value of 2 innit? Because y= cube root of x i.e. 8

#

In the above graph... if u draw it on desmos, you will see that when x=8, y=2

#

Also, draw the graph on desmos and see that when x=27 y will be....?
You should know the ans

#

No its not!

#

I am talking about the inverse graph

lilac bridge
#

oh right

#

wait so when you do the inverse function of a coordinate does the x and y swap around?

#

then in this case cube root both points

#

and plot it, ok if it is i swr ive not done something like this in class

#

haha no clue what that is, england must teach it differently

scotland

frosty onyx
#

Do you have till year 14 in scotland?

lilac bridge
lilac bridge
frosty onyx
#

Oh ok

#

Wait... so which year are you in?

lilac bridge
#

s5 which is year 12

frosty onyx
#

When do you have your scottish advance higher after which u go to uni?

#

In how many years do you have that

lilac bridge
#

next year

frosty onyx
#

Oh cool

lilac bridge
#

our nat5 course is 2 years, higher is 1 year and advanced higher is 1 year

frosty onyx
#

Ohh... well in england we do A (advanced) levels after secondary school of 2 years after which we go to uni

#

Anyways, lets come back to the ques

lilac bridge
frosty onyx
lilac bridge
#

u wouldnt?

frosty onyx
#

You wouldnt do cube root 2 and cube root 8 to find the coordinates of the inverse graph

lilac bridge
#

wait cus its only affecting the x, wouldnt it be (cube root 2, 8)?

#

or am i trippin

frosty onyx
#

No its affecting both x and y

lilac bridge
#

if u dont cube root whats the point of knowing the inverse of x^3 is cube root of x

frosty onyx
#

I have no problem to discuss this on chat but if you like do you wanna come on voice chat?

lilac bridge
#

lmao sure ig

frosty onyx

Cool
