Derivatives of Inverse Functions

OpenStudy (precal):

I am given a table x=-2 f(x)=3 x=1 f(x)=2

OpenStudy (precal):

I have to complete a table of values of x and \[f^{-1}x\]

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1402787332700:dw|

OpenStudy (precal):

then I have to figure out \[f^{-1}(f(1))\]

OpenStudy (rational):

simply swap the columns of first table

OpenStudy (precal):

ok

OpenStudy (rational):

if (a, b) is a point on f(x), then (b, a) will be a point on f^(-1)(x)

OpenStudy (precal):

ok so my answer is 1

OpenStudy (rational):

Yep !

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm w0t? what I can think offhand is to bear in mind that the f(x)'s DOMAIN is \(f^{-1}\) RANGE and the other way around

OpenStudy (rational):

thought u have a question about derivatives hmm

OpenStudy (precal):

I think my worksheet leads into them in a second ok I got stuck on one of the basic ones

OpenStudy (precal):

I am also, told x=-2 g(x)=1 x=1 g(x)=-2

OpenStudy (rational):

okay, this is another problem ?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm \(f(x)\quad \begin{array}{ccllll} x&y \\\hline\\ -2&3\\ 1&2 \end{array}\qquad f^{-1}(x)\quad \begin{array}{llll} x&y \\\hline\\ 3&2\\ 2&1 \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (precal):

I got stuck on the following

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm anyhow -2 \(\large f(x)\quad \begin{array}{ccllll} x&y \\\hline\\ -2&3\\ 1&2 \end{array}\qquad f^{-1}(x)\quad \begin{array}{llll} x&y \\\hline\\ 3&-2\\ 2&1 \end{array}\) so... see, the functions's DOMAIN is the "inverse"'s RANGE
