If f(x)=x^3-x+2, then (f^-1)'(2)

Note that f(x) as given is <em>not</em> invertible. By definition of inverse function,

f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = x

\implies f^{-1}(x)^3 - f^{-1}(x) + 2 = x

which is a cubic polynomial in f^{-1}(x) with three distinct roots, so we could have three possible inverses, each valid over a subset of the domain of f(x).

Choose one of these inverses by restricting the domain of f(x) accordingly. Since a polynomial is monotonic between its extrema, we can determine where f(x) has its critical/turning points, then split the real line at these points.

f'(x) = 3x² - 1 = 0   ⇒   x = ±1/√3

So, we have three subsets over which f(x) can be considered invertible.

• (-∞, -1/√3)

• (-1/√3, 1/√3)

• (1/√3, ∞)

By the inverse function theorem,

\left(f^{-1}\right)'(b) = \dfrac1{f'(a)}

where f(a) = b.

Solve f(x) = 2 for x :

x³ - x + 2 = 2

x³ - x = 0

x (x² - 1) = 0

x (x - 1) (x + 1) = 0

x = 0   or   x = 1   or   x = -1

Then \left(f^{-1}\right)'(2) can be one of

• 1/f'(-1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (-∞, -1/√3);

• 1/f'(0) = -1, if we restrict to (-1/√3, 1/√3); or

• 1/f'(1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (1/√3, ∞)

Does anyone know this? I’m really stuck
S_A_V [24]

<em>p = 21</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a midsegment, the base is going to be two times as large as the midsegment. You can find the midsegment if you multiply it by two and set it equal to the base. I have attached a photo below that may help you.

This is the equation we will be using.

2(p-13)=p-5

Now let's solve! Let's start by distributing the 2 by what's in the parentheses.

2p-26=p-5

Subtract p from both sides.

p-26=-5

Add 26 to both sides.

<u>p = 21</u>
