The correct answer is: 1 3

fx=x2-x+5

f'(x)=2x-1
⇒    for y = 7 ,   x > 1 2

∴    7 = x 2 - x + 5

⇒    x 2 - x - 2 = 0

⇒    x - 2 x + 1 = 0

⇒    x = - 1, 2

 x=2 (as x=- 1 is rejected)


If  fx & g x are inverse oeach other, gfx=x

g'fx  .f'x=1 

substituting x=2 in this equation,

we get, g'(f(2)).f'(2) = 1

g'(f(2))=1f'(2)
g'(7)=12(2)-1

=13 (at x=2)
