An Inverse Evaluation (Posted on 2006-05-25) Difficulty: 4 of 5
We know that f'(x) and f"(x) respectively denote the first derivative and second derivative of a given function f(x) with respect to x.
If P is the inverse function of S, and P'(x)=ex2; then:
2*S(x)*S'(x) + eS(x)2*S"(x) = ?

Some Thoughts Maybe the way? | Comment 2 of 6 |
I started with P(S(x))=x, so P'(S(x)).S'(x)=1, and then P"(S(x)).(S'(x))²+P'(S(x)).S"(x)=0, but then got stuck... it looks similar to the result, but...
