Last few Calculus questions

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

gah ... i'm gonna cheat and assume\[f=5(x-3) +4\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[(f^{-1})'(x)=\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))} \\ \text{ you can replace } f^{-1} \text{ with } g\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[(f^{-1})'(x)=\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))}\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

i must be getting slow....

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

f(3) = 4 ... so, g(4) =3 ok... ok ...ok

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Ok many equations I see

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Which one am I following guys?

myininaya (myininaya):

either

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

\[(f^{-1})'(x)=\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))} \\ \text{ you can replace } f^{-1} \text{ with } g\] \[g'(4)={1\over f'\left( g \left( 4 \right) \right)}\]

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

I'm getting something weird

myininaya (myininaya):

did you use what pax said above that f(3)=4 implies g(4)=3 ?

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

I saw it but I'm not really sure how to work that in

myininaya (myininaya):

\[g'(4)=\frac{1}{f'(\color{red}{g(4)})}\]

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

g(4) = 3 f'(g(4) = f'(3)=5

myininaya (myininaya):

do you see g(4) now?

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Yes I saw that part

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

OH

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Is it one of the 3/5's?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

dfg.bdflgd b...... i seem to be getting 1/5

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Well I'm pretty slow so you're most likely right

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Hey Pax can you check an answer for me as well?

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

I know the one selected isn't right but it has to be one of the bottom three I know that far lol...

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

\[g'(4)=\frac{1}{f'(\color{red}{g(4)})}\] if this formula is too daunting you can you can just write some equation for f that satisfies all the conditions, like \[f: y= 5(x-3)+4\\=5y-11\] to get the equation of g you just swap y and x \[x=5\left( y-3 \right)+4\] or \[y=\frac15\left( x-4 \right)+3\\=\frac15x+2\frac15\] slope=1/5

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Makes much more sense now lol thank you Pax

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

in all the charts ... wherever it says f'(x) ... it should be f(x)

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

critical values means all the relative minimums and maximums

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Got it

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

still doesn't make sense....

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

if the table is supposed to be vales of f(x) ... the first two values in option B are correct 2, -4, -2 .... just the last value has to be between -5 and -3 ... can't be -2.

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

hmmmm

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

if the chart is showing derivatives \(f'(x)\) then the question should say so... and the first option you have chosen could be correct

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Oh :) So should I go that route?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

idk... you said you knew that wasn't right

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Considering the fact that all of the majority where 2's and 4 based.

OpenStudy (lorenbeech):

Ah whatever
