A company packages colored wax to make homemade candles in​ cube-shaped containers. The production line needs to plan sizes of the containers based on the associated costs. Write a cube root function that tells the side lengths of the​ container, x, in inches for a given​ cost, C.
​x(C) (??????)
nothing ​(Type an expression using C as the​ variable.)

Respuesta :

The question is an illustration of inverse functions.

The cube root function is: [tex]\mathbf{ x(C) = \sqrt[3]{C} }[/tex]

The question implies that the cost of the cube container is gotten from its volume.

So, the cost function is:

[tex]\mathbf{ C(x) = x^3}[/tex]

Next, we calculate the inverse function as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{ C(x) = x^3}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{ C = x^3}[/tex]

Take cube root of both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ \sqrt[3]{C} = \sqrt[3]{x^3}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ \sqrt[3]{C} = x}[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]\mathbf{ x = \sqrt[3]{C} }[/tex]

Express x as a function of C

[tex]\mathbf{ x(C) = \sqrt[3]{C} }[/tex]

Hence, the cube root function is:

[tex]\mathbf{ x(C) = \sqrt[3]{C} }[/tex]
