Let ff be differentiable and strictly increasing on an interval containing x=1x=1 and x=4x=4. Suppose f(1)=3f(1)=3 with f′(1)=0.5f'(1)=0.5 and f(4)=8f(4)=8 with f′(4)=2.1f'(4)=2.1. Let g=f−1g=f^{-1}. Calculate g′(3)g'(3) and g′(8)g'(8), then indicate which of the two slopes has the greater magnitude.
