Description and Additional Formats:

This image represents the graph of the inverse function for the cubing function, u = x³, namely the cubed-root function, x = u^1/3. The graph of the inverse can be obtained from the graph of the function by interchaning the axes.

The colors in the lower left indicate which axis is which (red represents the x-axis, and green the u-axis). This color coding is also used in our images of graphs in higher dimensions.
