$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 + 2 (- 1 (x + 3)))}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.12

Apply the distributive property.

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 + 2 (- 1 x - 1 \cdot 3))}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.13

Rewrite $- 1 x$ as $- x$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 + 2 (- x - 1 \cdot 3))}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.14

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 + 2 (- x - 3))}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.15

Apply the distributive property.

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 + 2 (- x) + 2 \cdot - 3)}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.16

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 - 2 x + 2 \cdot - 3)}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.17

Multiply $2$ by $- 3$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (6 - 2 x - 6)}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.18

Subtract $6$ from $6$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{- (- 2 x + 0)}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.19

Add $- 2 x$ and $0$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{2 x}{2}$

Step 5.3.3.20

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 2$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{2 x}{2}$

Step 5.3.4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Step 5.3.4.1

Cancel the common factor.

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = \frac{2 x}{2}$

Step 5.3.4.2

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$f (- 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54) = x$

Step 5.4

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = - 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \frac{- 6 - \sqrt[3]{4 x}}{2}$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = - 2 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - 54 x - 54$
