Functionssss

clearing all my doubts today ...

Pick the correct options from the following for the below question , and state reasons for the false ones

Q1] If g(x) is an inverse function of f(x) then

a] g(x)=f-1(x)

b] f(g(x)) =x

c] f(x) = g-1(x) [ i.e if g is inverse of f then f is inverse of g ]

d] g-1[f-1(x)] = x

e] f must be one one onto

f] g'(x) = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))}

Q2] in arihant it is given that :

derivative of an odd function is always an even function, and derivative of an even function is always an odd function

is it correct ?? i doubt it ....waiting for your views

Q2. Consider an odd function f(x)
then f(x) = -f(-x)
f'(x) = -f'(-x)(-1)
f'(x)= f'(-x)

Consider an even func f(x)
=> f(x) = f(-x)
=> f'(x) = -f'(-x)

=> f'(x) is odd

Q1. for inverse to exist (e) is a must

g(f(x)) = x (g(x) is inverse of f(x)) .. (i) (f inverse of f(x) = x)
f(g(x)) = x ... (ii) (f of f inverse x = x)

=>g-1(g(f(x))) = g-1(x)
=> f(x) = g-1(x)

similarly
g(x)=f-1(x) (taking inverse of f(x) on both sides of (ii))
g-1[f-1(x)] = x can be proved by taking g inverse of the expression derived in the just previous step

thinking abt (f) gotta go

As f(g(x)) = x
=> f'(g(x))*g'(x) = 1
=> g'(x) = 1/f'(g(x)) = 1/f'(f-1(x))

so all correct

u sure na all correct ??

and wat about c ???

in arihant he gives dat
if fog = gof then only f(x) = g-1(x)
and f-1(x) = g(x) hold simultaneously ...

the derivative of an odd function is even and vice versa only if the function is not constant

yup !! thats wat i was wondering abt , for f(x) = k
