Inverse derivatives quiz: 10 questions

Question 1
If \(f(3)=7\) and \(f^{\prime}(3)=5\), what is \(\left(f^{-1}\right)^{\prime}(7)\)?

Question 2
xf(x)f′(x)124268
Values of f.

Using the table, what is \(\left(f^{-1}\right)^{\prime}(6)\)?

Question 3
What is \(\frac{d}{dx}\left[\tan^{-1}x\right]\)?

Question 4
What is \(\frac{d}{dx}\left[\sin^{-1}x\right]\)?

Question 5
-4-3-2-11234-2-1.5-1-0.50.511.52xy
arctan x and its derivative.

Where is the slope of \(y=\tan^{-1}x\) greatest?

Question 6
What is \(\frac{d}{dx}\left[\sin^{-1}(2x)\right]\)?

Question 7
What is the second derivative of \(f(x)=x^{4}\)?

Question 8
1234-22468tsa = 0
Position of a particle.

A particle has position \(s(t)=t^{3}-6t^{2}+9t\). What is its acceleration at \(t=2\)?

Question 9
What is \(\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}}[e^{2x}]\)?

Question 10
Which rule is best for \(\frac{x^{2}}{\cos x}\)?

Remember

Remember
  • (f⁻¹)′(b) = 1/f′(a) where f(a) = b; evaluate f′ at a, not at b.
  • d/dx sin⁻¹x = 1/√(1-x²), d/dx cos⁻¹x = -1/√(1-x²), d/dx tan⁻¹x = 1/(1+x²).
  • The second derivative is the derivative of the first derivative; acceleration is the second derivative of position.
  • Choose the rule by the outermost operation: sum, product, quotient or composition.
