Is the derivative of a function equal to the derivative of its inverse?
The function that exists such that its inverse is equal to its own derivative is the natural logarithmic function, i.e., the function defined by the equation f(x) = ln x.
Can a function be the same as the derivative?
Any two functions f(x) and g(x) that differ only by a constant, i.e., f(x)-g(x)=c, will have the same derivative.
Can a function have two derivative?
In other words, when you differentiate, you don’t get two derivatives for one function, rather two derivatives corresponding to two different functions, one y=41/55×1/5+1×3/4, and the other, y=41/55×1/5−1×3/4. That implies that “either x=1 or x=−1”.
Does the domain of the derivative function coincide with the domain of the original function?
Answer and Explanation: The derivative of a function represents geometrically the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at a given point. It can also be interpreted as a rate of change. Depending on how the function is defined, its domain may or may not coincide with the domain of its derivative.
What does the graph of a derivative tell you about the original function?
The differences between the graphs come from whether the derivative is increasing or decreasing. The derivative of a function f is a function that gives information about the slope of f. The derivative tells us if the original function is increasing or decreasing. Because f′ is a function, we can take its derivative.
How do you prove function does not exist?
Limits typically fail to exist for one of four reasons:
- The one-sided limits are not equal.
- The function doesn’t approach a finite value (see Basic Definition of Limit).
- The function doesn’t approach a particular value (oscillation).
- The x – value is approaching the endpoint of a closed interval.
How do you prove uniqueness?
Note: To prove uniqueness, we can do one of the following: (i) Assume ∃x, y ∈ S such that P(x) ∧ P(y) is true and show x = y. (ii) Argue by assuming that ∃x, y ∈ S are distinct such that P(x) ∧ P(y), then derive a contradiction. To prove uniqueness and existence, we also need to show that ∃x ∈ S such that P(x) is true.
