I am confuse.

OpenStudy (venomblast):

\[f(x)=4x^{3}+2x^2+3x-1, find f ^{-1}(6)\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

Do you mean the first derivative of f(x) \[\frac{ df(x) }{ dx }??\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

@Venomblast

OpenStudy (3mar):

@Venomblast

OpenStudy (venomblast):

I took the derivative and I still and plugged in 6. I did not get the answer.

OpenStudy (venomblast):

I am suppose to find \[f ^{-1}(-6)\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

first : derive second : substitute with 6 in the derived function

OpenStudy (3mar):

need to do it together?

OpenStudy (venomblast):

I did that.

OpenStudy (3mar):

so?

OpenStudy (3mar):

confused about what?

OpenStudy (venomblast):

did not get the answer

OpenStudy (3mar):

what the answer you got?

OpenStudy (venomblast):

411

OpenStudy (venomblast):

not even close to my answer.

OpenStudy (3mar):

\[f'(x)=12x^2+4x+3\] \[f'(6)=12*36+3*6+3=459\] where can youfind the error?

OpenStudy (venomblast):

i said -6 not 6. i corrected myself. and that is not even close to the answer.

OpenStudy (3mar):

ok No problem. \[f'(-6)=12*36-24+3=411\]

OpenStudy (venomblast):

still wrong

OpenStudy (3mar):

so what is the right answer?

OpenStudy (3mar):

@Venomblast

OpenStudy (3mar):

You seem too sad, so that you don't respond!

OpenStudy (venomblast):

i am. the answer is a much smaller digit.

Directrix (directrix):

Do you think that you are to find f inverse of 6?

OpenStudy (3mar):

I don't think so because Venomblast did not say "no" to me when I started talking about first derivative of f(x)

OpenStudy (venomblast):

I know how to do it now. thanks for trying

OpenStudy (3mar):

I am happy to hear that. Do not forget to medal who had helped you!
