  f⁻¹(138) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the value of x that makes the function have a value of 138:

  f(x) = 5x^3 +3x -6

  138 = 5x^3 +3x -6

  0 = 5x^3 +3x -144

Descartes's rule of signs tells us this has one positive real solution. The rational root theorem gives us 30 possibilities. Rewriting the equation as ...

  x^3 = (144 -3x)/5 = 28.8 -0.6x

suggests that the value of x is less than ∛28.8 ≈ 3.065. Trying x=3, we find that to be a solution.

  (5x² +3)(x) -6 = 0 . . . . rewrite of the above equation

  (5·3² +3)·3 -144 = (48)(3) -144 = 0 . . . . true

Then ...

  f⁻¹(138) = 3

The answer is found easily using a graphing calculator. The solution is the x-intercept of 138 -f(x) = 0.

the range is 19

step-by-step explanation:

the range is biggest number minus the smallest, so in this case it would be

41 - 22 = 19
