The function
is the inverse function of the function f {\displaystyle {}f} , given by f ( x ) = x 3 {\displaystyle {}f(x)=x^{3}} . The derivative of f {\displaystyle {}f} in a {\displaystyle {}a} is f ′ ( a ) = 3 a 2 {\displaystyle {}f'(a)=3a^{2}} , which is different from 0 {\displaystyle {}0} for a ≠ 0 {\displaystyle {}a\neq 0} . Due to fact, we have for b ≠ 0 {\displaystyle {}b\neq 0} the relation
In the zero point, however, f − 1 {\displaystyle {}f^{-1}} is not differentiable.
