Need help solving this problem. (Inverse Functions)
Can anyone show me how to solve this?
g(x) = 10x^9 + 5x^3
10(g^-1(11))^9 + 5(g^-1(11))^3-9

What do you have to solve? (I can't see anything, maybe I'm the only one)

$\displaystyle g(x) = 10x^9 + 5x^3$
let $\displaystyle a$ be the real value such that $\displaystyle g(a) = 11$
since $\displaystyle g(a) = 11$ , $\displaystyle g^{-1}(11) = a$
$\displaystyle 10a^9 + 5a^3 - 9 = g(a) - 9 = 11 - 9 = 2$

For any (invertible) function g, $\displaystyle g(g^{-1}(x))= x$
Note that $\displaystyle 10x^9+ 5x^3- 9= g(x)- 9$.
