Full solution

Q. 44. If g(x)=f1(x) g(x)=f^{-1}(x) , and f(x)=x4 f(x)=\sqrt{x-4} then solve for g(1) g^{\prime}(1) .
  1. Understand Relationship: Understand the relationship between f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).f(x)=x4f(x) = \sqrt{x-4} and g(x)=f1(x)g(x) = f^{-1}(x), meaning g(f(x))=xg(f(x)) = x.
  2. Find Derivative of f(x)f(x): Find the derivative of f(x)f(x).f(x)=(12)(x4)121=12x4.f'(x) = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(x-4\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 1 = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x-4}}.
  3. Apply Inverse Function Formula: Apply the formula for the derivative of the inverse function. g(x)=1f(g(x)).g'(x) = \frac{1}{f'(g(x))}.
  4. Substitute x=1x = 1: Substitute x=1x = 1 into g(x)g'(x).\newlineg(1)=1f(g(1))g'(1) = \frac{1}{f'(g(1))}.
  5. Find g(1)g(1): Find g(1)g(1) using the fact that g(f(x))=xg(f(x)) = x.\newlineSince f(g(1))=1f(g(1)) = 1, g(1)4=1\sqrt{g(1)-4} = 1.\newlineg(1)4=12g(1) - 4 = 1^2.\newlineg(1)=5g(1) = 5.
  6. Substitute g(1)g(1) into f(g(1))f'(g(1)): Substitute g(1)g(1) into f(g(1))f'(g(1)).\newlinef(5)=1254=12f'(5) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{5-4}} = \frac{1}{2}.
  7. Calculate g(1)g'(1): Calculate g(1)g'(1).\newlineg(1)=1(12)=2g'(1) = \frac{1}{(\frac{1}{2})} = 2.
