So I got asked to do this:

"The rule for function h is h(x)=2x^3+1. Find a rule for the inverse function h^-1"

I worked it out and got the cube root of ((x-1)/2), but the answer included x∈R at the end
is it necessary to include the "x∈R" bit?

Hopefully this makes sense:

You can 'take out the negative' because it's to the power of -1

Assuming 1/m*loge(m/3) is the answer to part a.i. This is how I did it. Please please correct me if I'm wrong but I got m>3

Hey  :)

When writing the answer for the value in which the graph is strictly increasing, is it square brackets for the turning point, even though the gradient here is zero?

Thanks!

Hi! Someone - and I can't remember who - posted this not too long ago.

That link may solve a couple of your 'strictly increasing' problems.

Is there a way to solve this algebraically?

I let

wouldn't the second equation to solve simultaneously be ?

You've just said that 27=72, as p+q=1.
