===Inverses and derivatives===
TheBy the [[inverse function theorem]] states that, a [[continuous function]] {{mvar|of a single variable <math>f\colon A\to\mathbb{R}</math> (where <math>A\subseteq\mathbb{R}</math>) is invertible on its range (image) if and only if it is either strictly [[monotonic function|increasing or decreasing]] (with no local [[maxima and minima|maxima or minima]]). For example, the function
