    Inverse ratio and proportion question

    I understood that for a direct proportion such as "if 6 mangoes cost $12, then how many dollars worth are 12 mangoes?", we have to first divide 12 by 6 to get the no. of divisions of 6 in 12 i.e. precisely 2 and then as 1 division is worth $12 we multiply the two divisions with $12 and that's...

    Confused about derivatives of inverse functions

    Hi. I am reviewing for an exam, and this is a topic that I did not go through very thoroughly. I understand how to calculate the derivative of an inverse function when I am given a point, as I simply use the equation (1/f((f^-1))'. So if I am given the equation y=x^3, for example, and am asked...
