Differentiable function/D in R/Inverse function/Fact

From Wikiversity
Derivative of inverse function

Let D,E denote intervals, and let

f:DE

be a bijective continuous function, with the inverse function

f1:ED.
Suppose that f is

differentiable in aD with f(a)0.

Then also the

inverse function f1 is differentiable in b:=f(a), and

(f1)(b)=1f(f1(b))=1f(a)
holds.
