Inverse Derivative Problems 1. Let f be the function defined by f(x) = x3 + x. If g(x) = f –1 (x) and g(2) = 1, what is the value of g ′(2)? 2. Let f be the function defined by f(x) = 4+𝑥 5 3𝑥 2 . If g(x) = f –1 (x), and g(3)=2, what is the value of g ′(3)? 3. Let g(x) = f –1 (x) and f(1)=6, f’(1) = 7, what is the value of g ′(6)? 4. Let g(x) = f –1 (x) and f(2)=10, f’(2) = 5, what is the value of g ′(10)? 5. Let g(x) = f –1 (x) and f(4)=2, g’(2) = 50, what is the value of f ′(4)? Inverse Derivative Problems - key f and g are inverse functions. f(a) = b g(b) = a The point (a,b) satisfies f. The point (b,a) satisfies g. Inverse Derivative Formula: 𝑓 ‘ (a) = 1 g ′(b) g ‘ (b) = and 1 f ′(a) 1. Let f be the function defined by f(x) = x3 + x. If g(x) = f –1 (x) and g(2) = 1, what is the value of g ′(2)? Not possible to find inverse function directly. x = y3+y cannot be solved for y. So use inverse derivative formula. The point (1,2) satisfies f. the point (2,1) satisfies g. g ‘ (2) = 1 f ′(1) We need f ’(1). f’ (x) = 3x2+1 f ‘(1) = 3 (1)2+1= 4 g ‘ (2) = 1 f ′(1) = 2. Let f be the function defined by f(x) = 1 4 4+𝑥 5 3𝑥 2 . If g(x) = f –1 (x), and g(3)=2, what is the value of g ′(3)? 3 is the b value. The point (2,3) satisfies f. the point (3,2) satisfies g. using output b=3, we can also find a if not given. Output from f(x) = 3, what was x? 3 = 4+𝑥 5 3𝑥 2 9x2= 4+x5 x5 - 9x2 +4 = 0 From graph or guessing, we could find x = 2 (but there are other values as well, so good that they gave us this value). g(3) = 2. So f(2) = 3. Not possible to find inverse function directly. x = 3x2 (5x4 )−(4+x5 )(6x) 9𝑥 4 cannot be solved for y. So use inverse 1 f ′(2) derivative formula. g ‘ (3) = f’ (x) = 4+𝑦 5 3𝑦 f ‘(2) = (960-432)/(9*16)=528/144 = 11/3 g ‘ (3) = 1 f ′(2) = 1 11 3 3. Let g(x) = f –1 (x) and f(1)=6, f’(1) = 7, what is the value of g ′(6)? g ‘ (6) = 1 1 = f ′(1) 7 4. Let g(x) = f –1 (x) and f(2)=10, f’(2) = 5, what is the value of g ′(10)? g ‘ (10) = 1 1 = f ′(2) 5 5. Let g(x) = f –1 (x) and f(4)=2, g’(2) = 50, what is the value of f ′(4)? f ‘ (4) = 1 1 = g ′(2) 50 3 = 11
