f(x)=log10x
and f-1(x)=10^x
so if you start with 1, you get log1=0 then 10^0=1, but it is irrelevant. It is just to do with f and f-1. You wnd up with the thing you started with

Think of powers. x^2*x^-2=1
but but f(f-1(x))=x
an inverse to f undoes f so you end up with what you started.

huh? shouldn't it be 1 root 10? and the answer without log should be 3.16?

orig volume=x^3
new volume=(x-1)^3=x^3-3x^2+3x-1
equation is x^3-(x^3-3x^2+3x-1)=91
ie 3x^2-3x+1=91
3x^2-3x-90=0
x^2-x-30=0
(x-6)(x+5)=0
x=6 or -5
but it must be 6 since x must be positive.
