An invertible function?

I'm not sure I understand the question...

If you are asking if an inverse of some function can still be odd, yes. f(x)=x^3; f^-1(x)=x^(1/3) are odd...

In fact, since f(-x)=-f(x). it would imply that all invertible odd functions are also odd themselves. This is also justifiable by the graphs.
