Q. (77pts) Let f(x)=2x+x f(x)=2^{x}+x . Use the theorem on derivatives of inverses to find (f1)(11) \left(f^{-1}\right)^{\prime}(11) .
  1. Find Derivative of f(x)f(x): First, we need to find the derivative of f(x)f(x), which is f(x)f'(x).\newlinef(x)=ddx[2x+x]f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} [2^{x} + x]
  2. Calculate f(x)f'(x): Using the power rule and the fact that the derivative of xx is 11, we get:\newlinef(x)=2xln(2)+1f'(x) = 2^{x} \cdot \ln(2) + 1
  3. Apply Derivative of Inverses Theorem: Now, we use the theorem on derivatives of inverses which states that (f1)(y)=1f(f1(y))(f^{-1})^\prime(y) = \frac{1}{f^\prime(f^{-1}(y))}. We need to find (f1)(11)(f^{-1})^\prime(11), so we need to calculate f(f1(11))f^\prime(f^{-1}(11)).
  4. Find xx for f(x)=11f(x) = 11: We need to find the xx-value such that f(x)=11f(x) = 11. This means solving 2x+x=112^{x} + x = 11 for xx.
  5. Approximate xx Value: This equation isn't easy to solve algebraically, so we might need to use numerical methods or graphing to approximate the solution.\newlineLet's say we found that x3x \approx 3 (this is an approximation for the sake of the example).
