Answer:
f^(-1)(x) = -6+\sqrt[3]{x}

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace f(x) with y.

Swap x and y, then solve for y to get the inverse.


f(x) = (x+6)^3\\\\y = (x+6)^3\\\\x = (y+6)^3\\\\\sqrt[3]{x} = y+6\\\\y = -6+\sqrt[3]{x}\\\\f^(-1)(x) = -6+\sqrt[3]{x}\\\\

To solve for y, I first applied the cube root to both sides. Then I subtracted 6 from both sides.
