Differentiating Inverse Functions

AP Calculus AB· difficulty 3/5

If ff has inverse f1f^{-1} and f(2)=5f(2) = 5, f(2)=4f'(2) = 4, then (f1)(5)=(f^{-1})'(5) =

  • A

    14\tfrac{1}{4}

    check_circle
  • B

    44

  • C

    15\tfrac{1}{5}

  • D

    55

Explanation

(f1)(b)=1/f(a)(f^{-1})'(b) = 1/f'(a) where f(a)=bf(a) = b. Here 1/f(2)=1/41/f'(2) = 1/4.
