  Inverse functions and differentiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the inverse of a function y = f(x) is a function that, in some fashion, "undoes" the effect of f (see inverse function for a formal and detailed definition).
Differentiation in calculus is the process of obtaining a derivative.
It follows that functions with continuous derivative have inverses in a neighbourhood of every point where the derivative is non-zero.

 Derivative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Points on the graph of a function where the derivative is undefined or equals zero are called critical points or sometimes stationary points (in the case where the derivative equals zero).
Perhaps the most natural situation is that of functions between differentiable manifolds; the derivative at a certain point then becomes a linear transformation between the corresponding tangent spaces and the derivative function becomes a map between the tangent bundles.
For complex functions of a complex variable differentiability is a much stronger condition than that the real and imaginary part of the function are differentiable with respect to the real and imaginary part of the argument.

 Encyclopedia: Inverse functions and differentiation
In mathematics, a function is a relation, such that each element of a set (the domain) is associated with a unique element of another (possibly the same) set (the codomain, not to be confused with the range).
In mathematics, an inverse function is in simple terms a function which does the reverse of a given function.
In mathematics, the inverse function theorem gives sufficient conditions for a vector-valued function to be invertible on an open region containing a point in its domain.

The derivative of a function at a certain point is a measure of the rate at which that function is changing as an argument undergoes change.
If a function is not continuous at c, then there is no slope and the function is therefore not differentiable at c; however, even if a function is continuous at c, it may not be differentiable.
The simplest notation for differentiation that is in current use is due to Lagrange and uses the prime, ′.

 Talk:Inverse functions and differentiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idea is to get to the point as fast as possible, point people who want to know more about inverse functions and calculus at the right places, and then gives some examples not just of inverse functions but of the whole reciprocal thing.
Examples of the derivatives of inverse functions were under development(by pizza), and there was a perfect spot for them at the bottom.
The difference between continuous and differentiable, and differentiable, is slight, especially given the fact that were a function is not continuous, it is not differentiable.(however, the converse does not always hold) In any case, this is quite a small point, which could be easily 'tweaked' by a very very minor correction.

 Derivatives of Inverse Functions
A first step in the proof is to show that the inverse of a continuous function is continuous; this proof in turn requires an application of the Intermediate Value Theorem (see Stage 4) and actually reveals a fairly deep and subtle property of the real numbers.
The square root function is the inverse of the squaring function f(x)=x
The differentiability theorem for inverse functions guarantees that the square root function is differentiable at x whenever f '(x)=2x is not equal to zero.

However, it is generally enought to consider the inverse sine and the inverse tangent functions.

Remember, when we differentiate a function of x in terms of x (this is the meaning of the dx in d/dx), we must express our answer in terms of x.

We note that this function can be simplified using the laws of exponents to obtain e ^ ln x * e^1 = x * e^2 = e * x; since e is a constant number the derivative will simply be e * 1 = e.
Its inverse function is f(x) = sin(x), and as usual the composite function f(g(x)) = x with derivative 1.
Since F is given as a function of v and v is given as a function of t, we use the chain rule in form dF / dt = dF / dv * dv / dt and we obtain dF / dt = 48,000 v * (.006 t).
