Help with derivative of nested inverse functions

64 Views Asked by At

Assume that $f$ is an arbitrary monotonically increasing on $[0,1]$. I am trying to compute the following:

$\frac{d}{dx}f^{-1}(f(x)-1)$

Where $f^{-1}$ is the inverse function.

The current best line of work I have is using the chain rule and inverse function rules I get:

$f'(x) \cdot 1/f'[f^{-1}(f(x)-1)]$

However, this seems to just be creating an infinitely nested function. As such I am stuck.

Thanks!
