Question

For many species of fish, the weight W is a function of the length x, given by W=kx3W=k x^3, where k is a constant depending on the species. Suppose k=0.002, W is in pounds, and x is in inches, so the weight is W(x)=0.002x3W(x)=0.002 x^3.

a. Find the inverse function of this function.

b. What does the inverse function give?

c. Use the inverse function to find the length of a fish that weighs 2 pounds.

d. In the context of the application, what are the domain and range of the inverse function?
