Q

Derivatives of Inverse Functions

A

• You can calculate the derivative of an inverse function at a point without determining the actual inverse function.

Q

note

A
  • The inverse of a function retains many of the properties of the original function.
  • To derive the formula for the derivative of an inverse, start with a relationship you know.
  • The composition of a function and its inverse is equal to x. You need to use implicit differentiation. Use the chain rule to differentiate both sides of that relationship.
  • Isolate the derivative of the inverse by dividing.
  • If you know the value of the inverse at a point, you can find the derivative of the inverse at that point.
  • In this example, you know the function and the value of the inverse at π. Your mission is to find the value of the
    derivative of the inverse at π.
  • Use the formula that you learned above. The derivative of f(x) = 2x + cos x is f ́(x) = 2 – sin x. Sine takes on values between –1 and 1, so the derivative lies between 1 and 3. It’s always positive, which means the function is increasing. Remember that increasing functions are invertible.
  • Once you have found the derivative of the original function and verified that the function is invertible, all you have to do is plug into the formula.
  • You have evaluated the derivative of the inverse of a function at a point, without determining the inverse itself!
