real analysis - Prove the inverse of a strictly increasing function is differentiable.

So, I was given the following problem as part of a homework assignment.




Suppose f(x)>0 in (a,b). Prove that f is strictly increasing in (a,b), and let g be its inverse function. Prove that g is differentiable, and that
g(f(x))=1f(x)





I have proven that f is strictly increasing in (a,b), and I could prove that g(f(x))=1/f(x) if I could prove that g is differentiable. The problem is that I am having trouble with a proof of that. Any advice?



Also, as a reference, this is exercise 5.2 from Baby Rudin.
