The function
is the inverse function of the function f {\displaystyle {}f} , given by f ( x ) = x 2 {\displaystyle {}f(x)=x^{2}} (restricted to R + {\displaystyle {}\mathbb {R} _{+}} ). The derivative of f {\displaystyle {}f} in a point a {\displaystyle {}a} is f ′ ( a ) = 2 a {\displaystyle {}f'(a)=2a} . Due to fact, for b ∈ R + {\displaystyle {}b\in \mathbb {R} _{+}} , the relation
holds. In the zero point, however, f − 1 {\displaystyle {}f^{-1}} is not differentiable.
