MCQ
If $f(x)\, = {x^2} - x + 5,\,\,x > \frac{1}{2},$ and $g(x)$ is its inverse function, then $g'(7)$ equals
  • A
    $-\frac {1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac {1}{13}$
  • $\frac {1}{3}$
  • D
    $-\frac {1}{13}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac {1}{3}$
c
$f\left( x \right) = y = {x^2} - x + 5$

${x^2} - x + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} + 5 = y$

${\left( {x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} + \frac{{19}}{4} = y$

${\left( {x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2}\,\, = y - \frac{{19}}{4}$

$x - \frac{1}{2} =  \pm \sqrt {y - \frac{{19}}{4}} $

$x = \frac{1}{2} \pm \sqrt {y - \frac{{19}}{4}} $

As $x > \frac{1}{2}$

$x = \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt {y - \frac{{19}}{4}} $

$g\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt {x - \frac{{19}}{4}} $

$g'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt {x - \frac{{19}}{4}} }}$

$g'\left( 7 \right) = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt {7 - \frac{{19}}{4}} }} = \frac{1}{{2\frac{{\sqrt {28 - 19} }}{2}}} = \frac{1}{3}$
