State the inverse function theorem for a function F:RnRnF: \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}. Suppose FF is a differentiable bijection with F1F^{-1} also differentiable. Show that the derivative of FF at any point in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} is a linear isomorphism.

Let f:R2Rf: \mathbb{R}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a function such that the partial derivatives fx,fy\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} exist and are continuous. Assume there is a point (a,b)R2(a, b) \in \mathbb{R}^{2} for which f(a,b)=0f(a, b)=0 and fx(a,b)0\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(a, b) \neq 0. Prove that there exist open sets UR2U \subset \mathbb{R}^{2} and WRW \subset \mathbb{R} containing (a,b)(a, b) and bb, respectively, such that for every yWy \in W there exists a unique xx such that (x,y)U(x, y) \in U and f(x,y)=0f(x, y)=0. Moreover, if we define g:WRg: W \rightarrow \mathbb{R} by g(y)=xg(y)=x, prove that gg is differentiable with continuous derivative. Find the derivative of gg at bb in terms of fx(a,b)\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(a, b) and fy(a,b)\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(a, b).
