Applying the chain rule to both inverse identities givesFor the unnumbered calculation, the requested point is . The Jacobian there isTo apply its inverse to , solve , . Subtraction gives , and henceFor precision, the displayed example maps bijectively onto , rather than the entire positive quadrant. Indeed writing , the equations are with . This left side decreases continuously from to zero, giving exactly one if and only if , after which is unique. Its Jacobian never vanishes, so the inverse is differentiable on . The requested point lies in , making the calculation well-defined.
