if f(x)=1/3x-1 and g(x) = f^-1(x), find g’(x).
we literally just did this?
g o f) (x) = 2 ( 3x^2 - 1) = 6x^2 - 2 two: An = 5 * 2^n three can't do with text
Thats incorrect darling
Don't patronize her
Please reference this question http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/52c33e98e4b0b729fb8c0a95
is it \[f(x)=\frac{1}{3x-1}\]??
whoops
@satellite73 yes
one method is to actually find the inverse, and then take the derivative of that
not too hard to find \[x=\frac{1}{3y-1}\] \[3y-1=\frac{1}{x}\] \[3y=\frac{1}{x}+1\] \[y=\frac{1}{3x}+\frac{1}{3}\] or \[f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{3x}+\frac{1}{3}\] now the derivative is easy to find
i mean i guess it is easy to find, right?
1/3
oh heck no
grrrr
the derivative of \(\frac{1}{x}\) is \(-\frac{1}{x^2}\)
so the derivative of \(\frac{1}{3}\) is \(-\frac{1}{3x^2}\)
oops typo there, i mean the derivative of \[\frac{1}{3x}\] is \[-\frac{1}{3x^2}\]
