If I'm given a function ##f(x)##, say it has continuos first derivative, then I expand it as ##f(x + \Delta x) = f(x) + (df / dx) \Delta x##. If instead, I'm given ##f^{-1}(x)## how do I go about expanding it? Will this be just ##f^{-1}(x + \Delta x) = f^{-1}(x) + (df^{-1} / dx) \Delta x##?

Hello, I am trying to find the inverse of f(x) = x \div (x+4) IIRC i need to replace f(x) with y and solve for x. I've tried to do y = x \div (x+4) becomes y(x+4) = x then xy + 4y = x but I can't reduce the amount of x to one. What am I doing wrong in this problem?

Define $f: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z}$ via $f(n) = n^2$ for all $n \in \mathbb{Z}$. Why does $f^{-1}(\left\{0,1,2\right\}) = \left\{0,-1,1\right\}$? The definition I'm using is $f^{-1}{(T)} = \left\{a \in A: f(a) \in T \right\}$ so we have $f^{-1}({ \left\{0,1,2\right\} }) = \left\{n \in...
