Well, in order to prove the function is invertible, i have done as following: $\displaystyle f'(x)=\cos(x)+\displaystyle\frac{9}{\pi}$ and since $\displaystyle \displaystyle\frac{9}{\pi}>1$ so the slope of the function becomes positive no matter which value the $\displaystyle x$ has, which means that the function is a strictly increasing function and therefore the $\displaystyle f$ is invertible. So what next? Last edited by skipjack; January 23rd, 2016 at 12:09 PM.

 ... at the point 2.
with the above statement, I assume you mean when $f(x)=2$ ...

$f(x) = \sin{x} + \dfrac{9x}{\pi}$

for ease of notation in typing this out, let $g(x) = f^{-1}(x)$

If $g$ and $f$ are inverses, then $g[f(x)] = x$, and ...

$g'[f(x)] \cdot f'(x) = 1$

$f(x) = 2 \implies x = \dfrac{\pi}{6}$

$g'\bigg[f\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)\bigg] = g'(2) = f^{-1}(2) = \dfrac{1}{f'\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)}$
