Question
Derivatives of inverse functions at a point Find the derivative of the inverse of the following functions at the specified point on the graph of the inverse function. You do not need to find \(f^{-1}\).
f(x) = tan x; \((1, \pi / 4)\)
Solution
The first step in solving 3.9 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Derivatives of inverse functions at a point Find the derivative of the inverse of the following functions at the specified point on the graph of the inverse function. You do not need to find \(f^{-1}\).f(x) = tan x; \((1, \pi / 4)\)
From the textbook chapter Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
