Does the domain of the function $y=\sqrt[3]{x^3+1}$ include $x<-1$? If yes, why is Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha not plotting that part of the function?

Yes. And what do you mean Wolfram Alpha is not plotting the function for $x < -1$? Here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+cube+root+of+%28x%5E3+%2B+1%29&lk=4&num=1 – balddraz Jul 21 '15 at 04:15

Oh, I put (x^3+1)^(1/3). http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D++%28x%5E3+%2B+1%29%5E%281%2F3%29 – Sekots Reivan Jul 21 '15 at 04:17

3Click "Use the real-valued root instead". By default, Mathematica chooses the convention that is compatible with complex arguments. – Jul 21 '15 at 04:20
