Linked Question 1

If g is the inverse function of f then ddx(4g(x)) at x = 3 is equal to

– 3

3

– 6

6

Solution

f 2(x) – f 2(y) = 3 f (x) – 3 f (y) + x  y
2 f (x) f ' (x) = 3 f ' (x) + 12x
⇒ (2f(x) – 3) f ' (x) = 12x
Integrating
12·(2f(x)3)22=12·  2x+C
(2f(x)3)2=4x  +  4c    {f (0) = 2}
  x = 0,  4c = 1
2f(x)3=4x+1
   f (x) = 12(3+4x+1)
