Solving an Application with a Cubic Function

Park rangers construct a mound of gravel in the shape of a cone with the height equal to twice the radius. The volume of the cone in terms of the radius is given by



Find the inverse of the function that determines the volume of a cone and is a function of the radius Then use the inverse function to calculate the radius of such a mound of gravel measuring 100 cubic feet. Use
