SUMMARY
The problem states that f(1) = 2, f '(1) = 3, and f '(2) = 4, and asks for f^-1(2). The key to solving this is understanding the definition of the inverse function, f^-1(x), which states that f^-1(f(x)) = x. Given that f(1) = 2, it follows that f^-1(2) = 1. The derivatives provided are extraneous for this specific question.
