what is the value of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x/x + 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is f(x) = x/x + 1?
or is f^-1(x)= x/x +1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
d 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f^(-1) x = x/x+1

well in any case, use the quotient rule
where if you a function h defined as f/g
then d/dx h = (f' * g - f * g') / g^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
..............x
f(x) = -------------
..........x + 1
........x
y = --------
......x + 1
........y
x = --------
......y + 1
x(y + 1) = y
xy + x = y
xy - y = - x
y(x - 1) = - x
...........x
y = - ---------
.........x - 1
.................x
f⁻¹(x) = - ----------- answer//
................x - 1
bye..

nope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got dat but it wasn't d ans
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you need to use the quotient rule next:
x = f, x+1 = g
d/dx x/x+1 =
[1(x+1) - x(1)]/(x+1)^2
1/(x+1)^2

yeah i got it now but it wasnt ur ans funinabox it was 1/(1-x)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank u all
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you typed the problem wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it was correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then the answer is wrong
1/(1+x)^2 is the correct answer.

but i got the marks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think i know what's up
f(x) = x/x + 1
it's not f^-1(x) = x/x + 1 as was stated
that way, when you do find the inverse, you get x/1-x, which would give you the derivative you posted.
