Continuity and Differentiability

Question:

Let g(x) be the inverse of the function f(x) and f'(x) = $\frac{1}{1+x^3}$. Then g'(x) is :

Options:

$\frac{1}{1+(g(x))^3}$

$\frac{1}{1+(f(x))^3}$

$1+(g(x))^3$

$1+(f(x))^3$

Correct Answer:

$1+(g(x))^3$

Explanation:

Since g(x) is the inverse of f(x)

∴ (gof)(x) = x

⇒ g(f(x)) = x

⇒ g'(f(x)) f'(x) = 1

⇒ $g'(f(x))=\frac{1}{f'(x)}=1+x^3$

⇒ g'(y) = 1 + (g(y))2

[∵ y = f(x) ⇒ x = f–1(y) = g(y)]

⇒ g'(x) = 1 + (g(x))3.        (Replacing y by x)

Hence (3) is correct answer.
