Identify the relationship between a function and its inverse. If \( y = f(x) \), then \( x = f^{-1}(y) \). The derivative of the inverse function \( (f^{-1})'(y) \) can be found using the formula \( (f^{-1})'(y) = \frac{1}{f'(x)} \) where \( x = f^{-1}(y) \).
From the problem, we need to find \( (f^{-1})'(1) \). This means we need to find the value of \( x \) such that \( f(x) = 1 \).
Look at the table provided in the problem to find the value of \( x \) for which \( f(x) = 1 \). This will give us the point \( (x, 1) \) on the graph of \( f \).
Once the correct \( x \) is identified, use the table to find \( f'(x) \), the derivative of \( f \) at this \( x \).
Finally, apply the formula \( (f^{-1})'(1) = \frac{1}{f'(x)} \) using the value of \( f'(x) \) obtained from the table to find the derivative of the inverse function at the given point.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Inverse Functions

Inverse functions are functions that 'reverse' the effect of the original function. If f(x) takes an input x and produces an output y, then the inverse function f^-1(y) takes y back to x. Understanding how to find and work with inverse functions is crucial for determining their derivatives.

Derivative of Inverse Functions

The derivative of an inverse function can be calculated using the formula (f^-1)'(y) = 1 / f'(x), where y = f(x). This relationship shows that the derivative of the inverse function at a point is the reciprocal of the derivative of the original function at the corresponding point. This concept is essential for solving problems involving derivatives of inverse functions.

Using Tables for Derivatives

When working with derivatives from tables, it is important to locate the necessary values for the function and its derivative. The table typically provides values of f(x) and f'(x) at specific points, which can be used to find the derivative of the inverse function. Understanding how to interpret and extract information from these tables is key to solving derivative problems.

{Use of Tech} Power and energy Power and energy are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. Energy is what makes matter move or heat up. It is measured in units of joules or Calories, where 1 Cal=4184 J. One hour of walking consumes roughly 10⁶J, or 240 Cal. On the other hand, power is the rate at which energy is used, which is measured in watts, where 1 W=1 J/s. Other useful units of power are kilowatts (1 kW=10³ W) and megawatts (1 MW=10⁶ W). If energy is used at a rate of 1 kW for one hour, the total amount of energy used is 1 kilowatt-hour (1 kWh=3.6×10⁶ J) Suppose the cumulative energy used in a large building over a 24-hr period is given by E(t)=100t+4t²−t³ / 9kWh where t=0 corresponds to midnight.
