the derivative of the function.
p √ √
(a) y = x + x + x, (b) y = arcsin (x2 ), (c) y = 1 − x2 arcsin x.
4. Suppose f and f −1 are both differentiable for all x with f (3) = 5; f 0 (3) = 7. Find the line
tangent to the graph of f −1 (x) at (5, 3)?
Hint: Derivative of the inverse function.

9. A car is traveling at night along a highway shaped like a parabola with its vertex at the
origin (see the below figure). The car starts at a point 100 m west and 100 m north of the
origin and travels in an easterly direction. There is a statue located 100 m east and 50 m north
of the origin. At what point on the highway will the cars headlights illuminate the statue?
x2
Hint: The equation of the parabola (highway) is defined by y = f (x) = . The point is
√ 100
(a, f (a)) where a = 100 − 50 2.
