Suppose f is a one-to-one, differentiable function and its inverse function f^-1 is also differentiable. One can show, using implicit differentiation (do it!), that (f^-1)'(x) = 1 / f'(f^-1(x)) Find (f^-1)'(-3) if f(1) = -3 and f'(1) = 3/7. (f^-1)'(-3) =

f is a one-to-one differentiable function and its inverse f^(-1) is also differentiable. Using implicit differentiation, you can show that (f^(-1))'(x) = 1 / f'(f^(-1)(x)), assuming f'(-5) = 13/7. Find (f^(-1))'(-4).

If f : [a, b] → R is one-to-one, then there exists an inverse function f^{-1} defined on the range of f given by f^{-1}(y) = x where y = f(x). In Exercise 4.5.8 we saw that if f is continuous on [a, b], then f^{-1} is continuous on its domain. Let's add the assumption that f is differentiable on [a, b] with f'(x) ≠ 0 for all x ∈ [a, b]. Show f^{-1} is differentiable with (f^{-1})'(y) = 1/f'(x) where y = f(x).
