Question:

If \(f(x)\) is a real valued bijective function and twice differentiable function. If \(g(x)\) is inverse of \(f(x)\) and \(f(0)=a\), then \(g''(a)=\)

Show Hint

For an inverse function, \[ \boxed{ (f^{-1})''(y) = -\frac{f''(x)}{[f'(x)]^3}, \qquad y=f(x). } \] Always substitute the corresponding value of \(x\) after differentiation.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Use the derivative of the inverse function. If \[ g=f^{-1}, \] then \[ g'(y)=\frac{1}{f'(x)}, \] where \[ y=f(x). \] Differentiating once again, \[ g''(y) = -\frac{f''(x)}{[f'(x)]^3}. \]

Step 2:
Use the given condition. Since \[ f(0)=a, \] we have \[ g(a)=0. \] Hence, in the above formula, substitute \[ x=0. \] Therefore, \[ g''(a) = -\frac{f''(0)}{[f'(0)]^3}. \]

Step 3:
Write the final answer. Hence, \[ \boxed{ g''(a) = -\frac{f''(0)}{[f'(0)]^3} }. \] Thus, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
