Abstract
In the calculus class, some students were confused by the expression of Inverse Function in two forms, which causes difficulties in understanding how to calculate the derivative of Inverse Function. It was because they were taught to denote independent variable only by using x in high school. In order to help them understand the problem well, I show the inverse function in two forms with diagrams and the reciprocal relationship between their derivatives.
