Suppose that f is an invertible function, f (0) = 0, f iscontinuous at 0, and

Chapter 1, Problem 56

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that \(f\) is an invertible function, \(f (0) = 0\), \(f\) is continuous at \(0\), and \(\lim _{x-0}(f(x) / x)\) exists. Given that \(L=\lim _{x-0}(f(x) / x)\), show

\(\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x}{f^{-1}(x)}=L\)

[Hint: Apply Theorem 1.5.5 to the composition \(h◦g\), where

\(h(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} f(x) / x, & x \neq 0 \\ L, & x=0 \end{array}\right.\)

And \(g(x)=f^{-1}(x)\). ]
