I need some help solving this problem.
Question:
Let f(x) = sin(pi/2*x)+x , (0<=x<=1) and let g = f^-1 (It may be taken as a given that an inverse exists). Find g'(0) and g'(2).
Notes:
I thought that I could use g'(x) = 1/(f'(g(x))) because I can find f'(x) but I still need g(x).
My method is:
let y = sin(pi/2*x)+x
then I believe that
arcsin(y) = pi/2*x + arcsin(x)
But I still can't figure out how to isolate x to find the inverse.
I'm not sure if I'm even approaching this the right way at all. In other words I am totally lost.
Thanks for any help.
