Answer

$$\left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{{{e^x}}}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & f\left( x \right) = \ln \left( {2x + 1} \right) \cr & f'\left( x \right) = \frac{2}{{2x + 1}} \cr & {\text{Calculating the inverse of the function}} \cr & y = \ln \left( {2x + 1} \right) \cr & x = \ln \left( {2y + 1} \right) \cr & {e^x} = {e^{\ln \left( {2y + 1} \right)}} \cr & {e^x} = 2y + 1 \cr & {e^x} - 1 = 2y \cr & y = \frac{{{e^x} - 1}}{2} \cr & {f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right) = \frac{{{e^x} - 1}}{2} \cr & {\text{By the formula 2: }}\left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{f'\left( {{f^{ - 1}}\left( x \right)} \right)}} \cr & \left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{\frac{2}{{2\left( {\frac{{{e^x} - 1}}{2}} \right) + 1}}}} \cr & \left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{\frac{2}{{{e^x} - 1 + 1}}}} = \frac{1}{{\frac{2}{{{e^x}}}}} \cr & \left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{{{e^x}}}{2} \cr & \cr & {\text{Differentiating }}\left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( x \right){\text{ directly}} \cr & \left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {\frac{{{e^x} - 1}}{2}} \right] \cr & \left( {{f^{ - 1}}} \right)'\left( x \right) = \frac{{{e^x}}}{2} \cr} $$
