The Inverse of a cubic function

Motivated by a question asked by an undergraduate student we determine when the cubic function f(x) = x3 + ax, with a being a real number, is bijective in its domain. For this purpose we use some basic results from calculus and by using a formula for the solution of the cubic equation x3 + mx = n fo...

For this purpose we use some basic results from calculus and by using a formula for the solution of the cubic equation x3 + mx = n found by Cardano in the 16th century, we find an explicit expression for the inverse function of f Motivados por la pregunta de un alumno de primer año de universidad, determinamos cuando la función cúbica f(x) = x+ax, donde a es un número real, es biyectiva en su dominio. Para ello utilizamos algunos resultados basicos del cálculo y, con la ayuda de la resolvente de la ecuación cúbica x3 + mx = n hallada por Cardano a mediados del siglo XVI, encontramos una expresión explícita para la funcion inversa de f.
