$G'(2)=-1$ .

Knowing that, $g$ is the inverse function of $f$ , we have,

$g@f"=the Identity fun. "rArr g(f(x))=I(x)=x....(star)$

$rArr d/dx g(f(x))=d/dx(x).$

$"By the Chain Rule, "g'(f(x))f'(x)=1.$

In particular, for $x=3, g'(f(3))f'(3)=1................(ast)$

But, $f(3)=2, and, f'(3)=1/9 :. (ast) rArr g'(2)=9..................(1)$

Now, $G(x)=1/g(x)rArr G'(x)=-(g'(x))/[g(x)]^2..."[the Chain Rule]"$

Hence, for $x=2, G'(2)=-(g'(2))/[g(2)]^2=-9/[g(2)]^2, ........[because, (1)]$

$"Here, to find, "g(2)," we take "x=3" in "(star)" & get, "g(f(3))=3, i.e., g(2)=3," as "f(3)=2.$

So, finally, $G'(2)=-9/3^2=-1.$
