Re: Calculus Query
I meant (and said) inverse, not reciprocal. This isn't an assignment, just something that occured to me during my endless and tedious BC Caluclus (anyone else have Early Transcendentals?) homework.
I've been trying to approach the problem visually, the inverse of a function being that function "mirrored" about the line y=x. I think perhaps this is needlessly painful, I'm going to try some algerbraic manipulation of the definition of the derivative...
My guess is that no such function exists, but I wonder if there is an elegant proof of that.
