as you may already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".
[tex]\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=x^3-9\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\underline{y}^3-9}\implies x+9=y^3\implies \sqrt[3]{x+9}=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}[/tex]
