Problem

Let I1,I2I_1, I_2 be intervals. Let f:I1→I2f : I_1 \to I_2 be a bijective function and g:I2→I1g : I_2 \to I_1 be the inverse. Suppose that both ff is differentiable at c∈I1c \in I_1 and f′(c)≠0f'(c) \neq 0 and gg is differentiable at f(c)f(c). Use the chain rule to find a formula for g′(f(c))g'\bigl(f(c)\bigr) (in terms of f′(c)f'(c)).
