what is the inverse of this function

86 Views Asked by At

I'm weak at math and I need the inverse of this function if it's computable:

$f(t) = A + (-2t^3 + 3t^2)(B-A)$

Note that $A$ and $B$ are constants.

thanks for your help.

Cardano-Tartaglia want you to find the cube root of a complex number. (whenever there are three real roots, the cube-root is of a complex number.)
Another option is Newton's Method. Let $$g(t)=6(t-t^2)(B-A)$$
You should run this up to $t_3$ or $t_4$, or until $t$ doesn't change much:

$t_1=1/2\\ t_2=t_1-(f(t_1)/g(t_1))\\ t_3=t_2-(f(t_2)/g(t_2))\\ t_4=t_3-(f(t_3)/g(t_3))$
