Explain how to find (f^-1)’(b), given that b=f(a).

(f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(b)) = 1/f'(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f⁻¹(x) is the reflection of the function f(x) across the line y=x. Every point (a, b) that is on the graph of f(x) is reflected to be a point (b, a) on the graph of f⁻¹(x).

Any line with slope m reflected across the line y=x will have slope 1/m. (x and y are interchanged, so m=∆y/∆x becomes ∆x/∆y=1/m) Since f'(x) is the slope of the tangent line at (x, f(x)), 1/f'(x) will be the slope of the tangent line at (f(x), x).

Replacing x with f⁻¹(x) in the above relation, you get ...

... (f⁻¹)'(x) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(x)) will be the slope at (x, f⁻¹(x))

Putting your given values in this relation, you get

... (f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(b)) = 1/f'(a)

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
