Derivative of an Inverse Function
Which of the following outlines the correct procedure for determining the value of $$\left(f^{-1}\right)'(a)$$ for a differentiable function $$f$$?
A
Compute $$f'(a)$$ directly, take its reciprocal, substitute back, and simplify
B
Identify the y-value corresponding to $$a$$, differentiate $$f^{-1}(y)$$ with respect to $$y$$, and then substitute $$y=a$$
C
Differentiate the inverse function directly using the chain rule, then compute $$f'(a)$$, and take the reciprocal
D
Identify the x-value where $$f(x)=a$$, compute $$f'(x)$$ at that point, take the reciprocal to obtain $$\left(f^{-1}\right)'(a)$$, and simplify the result
