Derivative of an multivariable Inverse Function

129 Views Asked by At

The function is $$f(x)=\int_{2}^x \sqrt{1+t^2}dt $$ Using the formula $$\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(a))} $$ I get $$f'(x)=\sqrt{1+x^2} $$ but do I now need to integrate the above derivative in order to find f(x), or find the inverse of the derivative?

$$\left(\int\limits_a^xg(t)dt\right)'=g(x),$$ which gives the answer immediately: $$f'(x)=\sqrt{1+x^2}.$$
