Question:

If g is inverse of f and $f'(x)=\frac{1}{1+x^n}$ then g'(x) equals

Options:

$1+x^n$

$1+[f(x)]^n$

$1+[g(x)]^n$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$1+[g(x)]^n$

Explanation:

Since g is the inverse of f.

∴  fog(x) = x for all x

$\Rightarrow \frac{d}{d x}\{fog(x)\}=1 $ for all x

$\Rightarrow f'(g(x)) . g'(x)=1$

$\Rightarrow f'\{g(x)\}=\frac{1}{g(x)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1+[g(x)]^n}=\frac{1}{g'(x)}$                   $\left[∵ f'(x)=\frac{1}{1+x^n}\right]$

$\Rightarrow g'(x)=1+[g(x)]^n$
