Differentiation of Inverse Function

Let f(x) be a function that is both invertible and differentiable. Let y=g(x) be the inverse of f(x). Then,
f(g(x))=x (Property of inverse function)
Differentiating both sides

f(g(x))g(x)=1 (Chain Rule) g(x)=1f(g(x))

Illustration

If f(x)=x3+x5, and g(x) is the inverse of f(x), then find g(2)
Solution
Using g(x)=1f(g(x)), put x=2

g(2)=1f(g(2))
Now we need to get the value of g(2)
As we know for inverse functions if f(a)=b, then g(b)=a. So let g(2)=p, then f(p)=2

p3+p5=2p=1=g(2)
Putting this in (i)

g(2)=1f(1)=1f(1)=13x2+5x4( at x=1)=18
