Answer

$\frac{3}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Formula in Exercise 83: $(f^{-1})'(x)=\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))}$ Given: $f(4)=5$ and $f'(4)=\frac{2}{3}$. Assuming $f$ is one-to-one, $f^{-1}(5)=4$. Using the formula above, $(f^{-1})'(5)=\frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(5))}=\frac{1}{f'(4)}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{3}{2}$
