(a) Let f^-1(x) = y then f(y) = x

 

y^3 + 3 sin y + 2 cos y = x

 

y^3 + 3 sin y + 2 cos y = 2

 

Upon solving, we get y = 0

 

Therefore, f^-1(2) = 0

 

(b) Let 2 + sin x = u then upon differentiation, cos x dx = du

 

The integral becomes ∫ du/u

 

= ln u + C

 

= ln (2 + sin x) + C

 

 

I hope that helps. Let me know if you need any clarifications on my answers. I will be happy to provide them. Else, please give a rating for my answer.

 

Thanks.

Hey, Did you mean you wanted the DERIVATIVE of the inverse function at x = 2? In that case, the answer will be different.guru200941080.0773047801

Answer for Q1 if the question meant to ask derivative of [f^-1(2)] is here ...

 

Let f^-1 (x) = g

 

From the Inverse Function Theorem, we have

 

g'(a) = 1/[f'[g(a)]

 

So g'(2) = 1/[f'[g(2)]

 

Let g(2) = b

 

Since g is the inverse of f, g(2) = b means f(b) = 2

 

b^3 + 3 sin b + 2 cos b = 2

 

b = 0 satisfies the above equation, therefore b = 0

 

So g(2) = 0

 

g'(2) = 1/[f'(0)]

 

= 1/[3 * 0^2 + 3 cos 0 - 2 sin 0]

 

= 1/3

 

 

Thanks.
