Derivative of Inverse Function
The derivative of an inverse function is a mathematical concept that relates to finding the rate of change of the inverse function at a given point. It is calculated using the derivative of the original function and involves the use of the chain rule in calculus. Understanding the derivative of an inverse function is important in various applications of calculus and mathematical analysis.

...The term requires using the quotient rule. Multiply each term by y 2. The point-slope form of the equation is The implicit curve and the line tangent at (1, 1) are shown in Figure 4.2. Figure 4.2 4.9 DERIVATIVES OF INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Implicit differentiation enables the exploration of the derivatives of an additional set of functions, inverse trigonometric functions. As with the normal trigonometric functions, there are six inverses. The first derivative will be justified, and the rest will be presented without proof. Once again, these derivatives need to be committed to memory, but fortunately, they have cofunction patterns that will ease the task. Remember, the domain values of the inverse trigonometric functions are trigonometric ratios, real numbers, and the range consists of radian measures with appropriately defined limitations. The function y = arctan(x) essentially says, “Tell me the angley with a tangent value of x.” (Note: Unless otherwise noted, arctan(x), will be also written with the notation tan –1 (x). This notation is also used with the other inverse functions, and should not be thought of as a power of – 1.) for y = tan –1 (x) denotes the instantaneous rate of change of the radian measure as the trigonometric ratio changes value. It also finds an expression for the slope of the graph of the inverse function at any given point of its domain. To find for y = tan –1 (x), we write an equivalent expression, x = tan(y). The implicit differentiation of x = tan(y) follows. Unfortunately, since y is originally a function of x, the derivative also should be in terms of x. This is where a bit of right triangle trigonometry is helpful! Figure 4.3 Figure 4.3 shows a right triangle with an acute angle y and the legs labeled appropriately so that tan(y) = x...

...In this case you must remember to always use the chain rule when taking the derivative of an expression involving y. That is all! Example 1 : Find y ′ if x 2 + y 2 = 3. Taking derivatives on both sides, 2 x + 2 yy ′ = 0 →. Example 2: Find y ′ if x 2 y 2 – 3 ln y = x + 7. Taking derivatives on both sides,. Note that the product rule must be used here when taking the derivative of x 2 y 2. Example 3: Find y ′ if x 2 – xy = x + y. Taking derivatives on both sides, 2 x – (xy ′ + y) = 1 + y ′ → 2 x – xy ′ – y = 1 + y ′ → 2 x – y – 1 = y ′ + xy ′ → y ′ + xy ′ = 2 x – y – 1 → y ′ (1 + x) = 2 x – y – 1 → y ′ =. Note that you must use the product rule when taking the derivative of xy – and must distribute the negative sign! K. The derivative of the inverse of a function: f = f (x) → 1. An example using the formula:. Since and f –1 (x) = x 2 (for x > 0), then,. This is only an illustration of this formula. Certainly you can find the derivative of the inverse more directly by finding the inverse first and then taking its derivative. In many cases this is difficult or impossible or simply time-consuming. Generally, to find the derivative of the inverse of a function, switch x and y and find y ′ implicitly. If asked to evaluate the derivative of the inverse of a function at a point, make sure you know which point you are given, one on the function or one on the inverse. Remember that if (a, b) is a point on a function, then (b, a) is a point on its inverse. The converse is also true. 2. An example without using the formula: given f (x) = x 3 + 2, evaluate (f –1 (3))′. Notice that x = 3 is an x -value of the inverse. So, rewrite the function, y = x 3 + 2, switch x and y, x = y 3 + 2. To find y ′ take the derivative implicitly:. The y in this equation is the y of the inverse. So, since x = 3, y = 1 (substitute x = 3 into x = y 3 + 2 to find the y -value) and our final answer is.

...Put simply, given a relation between two differentials, dy/dx, the problem of integration is how to find a relation between the quantities themselves, y and x. This problem corresponds to the geometrical method of finding the function of a curve characterized by a given property of its tangent. The differential relation is thought of as another function which describes, at each point on an original function, the gradient of the line tangent to the curve at that point. The value of this ‘gradient’ indicates a specific quality of the original function; its rate of change at that point. The differential relation therefore indicates the specific qualitative nature of the original function at the different points of the curve. The inverse process of integration is differentiation, which, in geometrical terms, determines the differential relation as the function of the line tangent to a given curve. Put simply, to determine the tangent of a curve at a specified point, a second point that satisfies the function of the curve is selected, and the gradient of the line that runs through both of these points is calculated. As the second point approaches the point of tangency, the gradient of the line between the two points approaches the gradient of the tangent. The gradient of the tangent is, therefore, the limit of the gradient of the line between the two points. It was Newton who first came up with this concept of a limit. He conceptualized the tangent geometrically, as the limit of a sequence of lines between two points on a curve, which he called a secant. As the distance between the points approached zero, the secants became progressively smaller, however they always retain ‘a real length’. The secant therefore approached the tangent without reaching it. When this distance ‘got arbitrarily small (but remained a real number)’, 56 it was considered insignificant for practical purposes, and was ignored...

...10 Differentials, Derivatives, and Partial Derivatives The concept of differential entails a small (tendentially negligible) variation in a variable x, denoted as dx, or a function f { x }, denoted as df { x }; the associated derivative of f { x } with regard to x is nothing but the ratio of said differentials, i.e. df / dx – usually known as Leibnitz’s formulation. In the case of a bivariate function, say, f { x,y }, differentials can be defined for both independent variables, i.e. dx and dy – so partial derivatives will similarly arise, i.e. ∂f / ∂x and ∂f / ∂y ; operator ∂ is equivalent to operator d, except that its use is exclusive to multivariate functions – in that it stresses existence of more than one independent variable. 10.1 Differential In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change of a function y =. f { x } – and its definition reads (10.1) where df / dx denotes the derivative of f { x } with regard to x ; it is normally finite, rather than infinitesimal or infinite – yet the precise meaning of variables dx and df depends on the context of application, and the required level of mathematical accuracy. The concept of differential was indeed introduced via an intuitive (or heuristic) definition by Gottfried W. Leibnitz, a German polymath and philosopher of the eighteenth century; its use was widely criticized until Cauchy defined it based on the derivative – which took the central role thereafter, and left dy free for given dx and df / dx as per Eq. (10.1). A graphical representation of differential is conveyed by Fig. 10.1, and the usefulness of differentials to approximate a function becomes clear from inspection thereof; after viewing dy as a small variation in the vertical direction, viz. (10.2) one may retrieve Eq...
