If $f(x)=\frac{x^2-x}{x^2+2 x}$, then $\frac{d}{d x}\left\{f^{-1}(x)\right\}$ is equal to |
$\frac{-3}{(1-x)^2}$ $\frac{3}{(1-x)^2}$ $\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}$ none of these |
$\frac{3}{(1-x)^2}$ |
We have, $f(x)=\frac{x^2-x}{x^2+2 x}$ Clearly, f(x) is not defined at x = 0, -2 So, Domain (f) = R - {-2, 0} For all x ∈ domain(f), we have $f(x)=\frac{x^2-x}{x^2+2 x}=\frac{x-1}{x+2}=1-\frac{3}{x+2}$ Now, $fof^{-1}(x)=x$ $\Rightarrow f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right)=x$ $\Rightarrow 1-\frac{3}{f^{-1}(x)+2}=x$ $\Rightarrow 1-x=\frac{3}{f^{-1}(x)+2}$ $\Rightarrow f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3}{1-x}-2 \Rightarrow \frac{d}{d x}\left\{f^{-1}(x)\right\}=\frac{3}{(1-x)^2}$ |
