Written solution

e−xf(x)=2+∫0xt4+1 dt,x∈(−1,1)e^{-x}f(x)=2+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x}\sqrt{t^{4}+1}\,dt,\quad x\in(-1,1)

f−1: inverse of ff^{-1}:\ \text{inverse of } f

Find (f−1)′(2)\text{Find } (f^{-1})'(2)

x=0: e0f(0)=2+0⇒f(0)=2x=0:\ e^{0}f(0)=2+0 \Rightarrow f(0)=2

⇒f−1(2)=0\Rightarrow f^{-1}(2)=0

(f−1)′(y)=1f ′(f−1(y))(f^{-1})'(y)=\dfrac{1}{f\,'(f^{-1}(y))}

⇒(f−1)′(2)=1f ′(0)\Rightarrow (f^{-1})'(2)=\dfrac{1}{f\,'(0)}

ddx: −e−xf(x)+e−xf ′(x)=x4+1\dfrac{d}{dx}:\ -e^{-x}f(x)+e^{-x}f\,'(x)=\sqrt{x^{4}+1}

×ex: −f(x)+f ′(x)=exx4+1\times e^{x}:\ -f(x)+f\,'(x)=e^{x}\sqrt{x^{4}+1}

⇒f ′(x)=f(x)+exx4+1\Rightarrow f\,'(x)=f(x)+e^{x}\sqrt{x^{4}+1}

f ′(0)=f(0)+e00+1=2+1=3f\,'(0)=f(0)+e^{0}\sqrt{0+1}=2+1=3

(f−1)′(2)=1f ′(0)=13(f^{-1})'(2)=\dfrac{1}{f\,'(0)}=\dfrac{1}{3}

⇒option (2)\Rightarrow \text{option } (2)
