State precisely the inverse function theorem for a smooth map F from an open subset of R2 to R2
Define F:R2→R2 by
F(x,y)=(x3−x−y2,y)
Determine the open subset of R2 on which F is locally invertible.
Let C be the curve {(x,y)∈R2:x3−x−y2=0}. Show that C is the union of the two subsets C1={(x,y)∈C:x∈[−1,0]} and C2={(x,y)∈C:x⩾1}. Show that for each y∈R there is a unique x=p(y) such that (x,y)∈C2. Show that F is locally invertible at all points of C2, and deduce that p(y) is a smooth function of y.
[A function is said to be smooth when it is infinitely differentiable.]
