Senior Member Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 196 Thanks: 3 | Inverse function of a differentiable function
Suppose $\displaystyle g $is the inverse function of a differentiable function $\displaystyle f $and $\displaystyle G(x) = \frac{1}{g(x)}$ If $\displaystyle f(3)=5 $ and $\displaystyle f'(3) = \frac{1}{9}$ find $\displaystyle G'(5)$ I know how to find $\displaystyle g'(5)$ Not sure how to find $\displaystyle G'(5)$ How does the reciprocal function tie into this. Not seeing how the solution has a negative number. Thanks for any help. |

By the chain rule:$$G(x) = \frac{1}{g(x)} \implies G^\prime(x) = -\frac{1}{g^2(x)} g^\prime(x)$$

$\displaystyle G(x)=\frac{1}{g(x)} \Rightarrow G'(x)=-\frac{g'(x)}{g(x)^2}$ $\displaystyle \left(f^{-1}\right)'(f(3))=\frac{1}{f'(3)}\Rightarrow g'(5)=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{9}}=9$ $\displaystyle \left(g\mathcal{o} f \right)(x)= x \Rightarrow \left(g\mathcal{o} f \right)(3)= 3\Rightarrow g\left(f(3)\right) =3 \Rightarrow g(5)=3 $ $\displaystyle G'(5)=-\frac{9}{9}=-1$ |
