@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

since \(f\) is increasing, then \(f'\) is greater than zero, and \( (f^{-1})'\) is also greater than zero, so the inverse function is also increasing

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay, would it be concave downwards though?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! I think so!

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Could you give a possible example?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

an example can be this: \(y=f(x)=x^2\)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i think option C is correct one

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Suppose we have function \[\large \bf y=x^2=f(x)\]

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I thought of that, but x^2 is not always increasing

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

inside the intrval \(x>0\), \(f\) is concave upword

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

interval*

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

but we can take x>0,then it is always increasing

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

k

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so what is the inverse then?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

sqrt x?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

correct

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

draw its graph

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

that's concave down right?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yep

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

but increasing

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

correct

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay, thank you both!

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

np :)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

and sorry @Michele_Laino sir !

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no problem :) @mayankdevnani
