For the function f(x) = x^2 - 4x +5, x>= 2, which is equal to d/dx (f-1 this is the inverse)(x)) ?

1/(2y-4) where x and y are related by the equation (satisfy the equation) x=y^2-4y+5 x>= 1

2y-4 where x and y are related by the equation y= = x^2 - 4x +5, x>= 2

1/2x-4 for x>= 1

1/2x-4 for x>= 2

1/2y-4 where x and y are related by the equation y= = x^2 - 4x +5, x>= 2
