Just use the formula for the derivative of an inverse function

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Got it, thank ya sir

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

or http://image.tutorvista.com/content/feed/u837/inverse.PNG \[\Large (f^{-1})'(-4) = \frac{ 1 }{ f' ( f^{-1} (-4)) }\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Then \[\large f^{-1} (-4) = 2\] (remember it means find x when y=-4) so \[\large f'(f^{-1} (-4)) = f'(2) = -5\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

So yes -1/5 is right.
