Explain how to find (f^-1)’(b), given that b=f(a).

Ganezh [65]3 years ago

Answer:

(f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(b)) = 1/f'(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f⁻¹(x) is the reflection of the function f(x) across the line y=x. Every point (a, b) that is on the graph of f(x) is reflected to be a point (b, a) on the graph of f⁻¹(x).

Any line with slope m reflected across the line y=x will have slope 1/m. (x and y are interchanged, so m=∆y/∆x becomes ∆x/∆y=1/m) Since f'(x) is the slope of the tangent line at (x, f(x)), 1/f'(x) will be the slope of the tangent line at (f(x), x).

Replacing x with f⁻¹(x) in the above relation, you get ...

... (f⁻¹)'(x) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(x)) will be the slope at (x, f⁻¹(x))

Putting your given values in this relation, you get

... (f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(b)) = 1/f'(a)

A country has 32 parks that allow camping and 43 parks that have playgrounds. Of those, 10 parks both allow camping and have pla
Olenka [21]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

32 parks allow camping

43 parks allow playgrounds

10 parks both allow camping and playgrounds

110 total parks

First, we need to add 32, 43, and 10

32 + 43 + 10 = 85

Then, we find the difference of 110 and 85

110 - 85 = 25

Since it isn't a decimal, there is no point in rounding.

Ending time 6:30, elapsed time 37 minutes
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

5:53

Step-by-step explanation:

The original time would be 37 minutes before 6:30 so you would subtract 37 minutes from 6;30. So 6:30 minus 30 would be 6 and you would have 7 left over so 6:00 minus 7 minutes would be 5:53
