$f'(x)$ is the derivative of the original function. $(f^{-1})'(x)$ requires using the inverse derivative formula: $(f^{-1})'(x) = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))}$.

Chain rule: used for composite functions. Inverse function rule: specifically for derivatives of inverse functions.

Explicit: function is defined as y = f(x). Implicit: function is not explicitly solved for y.

For $f(x)$, directly apply differentiation rules. For $f^{-1}(x)$, use the inverse derivative formula or find $f^{-1}(x)$ explicitly and then differentiate.

For $f(x)$, use implicit differentiation directly. For $f^{-1}(x)$, either find $f^{-1}(x)$ explicitly (if possible) and then differentiate, or use the inverse derivative formula in conjunction with implicit differentiation.

Finding $f^{-1}(x)$ involves switching $x$ and $y$ and solving for $y$. Finding $(f^{-1})'(x)$ involves differentiating the inverse function using the inverse derivative rule.

If $f(a) = b$, then $f'(a)$ is the slope of $f(x)$ at $x=a$, and $(f^{-1})'(b)$ is the slope of $f^{-1}(x)$ at $x=b$. These slopes are reciprocals of each other.

The graph of $f(x)$ shows the function's values, while the graph of $f'(x)$ shows the rate of change of $f(x)$.

The domain of $f(x)$ is the range of $f^{-1}(x)$, and the range of $f(x)$ is the domain of $f^{-1}(x)$.

$f'(a)$ is the derivative of $f(x)$ evaluated at $x=a$. $(f^{-1})'(a)$ is the derivative of the inverse function evaluated at $x=a$, and it requires using the inverse derivative formula.

If $f(x)$ is increasing, $f'(x) > 0$, so $(f^{-1})'(x) > 0$ as well, meaning the graph of $(f^{-1})'(x)$ is positive.

The graph of the inverse function is the reflection of the original function across the line $y = x$.

A vertical tangent line on $f(x)$ means $f'(x) = 0$ at that point, which implies the derivative of the inverse function is undefined (has a vertical asymptote) at the corresponding point.

The concavity of $f(x)$ affects the rate of change of $f'(x)$, which in turn affects the shape of $(f^{-1})'(x)$. A concave up $f(x)$ may lead to a different shape for $(f^{-1})'(x)$ compared to a concave down $f(x)$.

It means $f(x)$ is an odd function, i.e., $f(-x) = -f(x)$.

If $f'(x) > 0$, then $f(x)$ is increasing, and $f^{-1}(x)$ is also increasing. If $f'(x) < 0$, then $f(x)$ is decreasing, and $f^{-1}(x)$ is also decreasing.

A sharp corner in $f(x)$ means it's not differentiable at that point, which can affect the differentiability of $f^{-1}(x)$ at the corresponding point.

The domain of $f^{-1}(x)$ is the range of $f(x)$, and the range of $f^{-1}(x)$ is the domain of $f(x)$.

A horizontal asymptote in $f(x)$ becomes a vertical asymptote in $f^{-1}(x)$.

If $f(x)$ is linear, $f'(x)$ is constant, so $(f^{-1})'(x)$ is also constant.

A function that 'reverses' another function. If $f(a) = b$, then $f^{-1}(b) = a$.

A function is differentiable at a point if its derivative exists at that point.

A function that has an inverse function.

The derivative of a function $f(x)$ is a measure of how $f(x)$ changes as $x$ changes.

A line that touches a curve at a point and has the same slope as the curve at that point.

The equation of a line given a point $(x_1, y_1)$ and slope $m$: $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$.

The set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

The set of all possible output values (y-values) of the function.

A function $f(x)$ is strictly increasing if, for any $x_1 < x_2$, we have $f(x_1) < f(x_2)$.

The reciprocal of a number $x$ is $1/x$.
