Let $f$ be a map from $\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ be defined as:
$$ f: \left( \begin{matrix}x\\y\end{matrix} \right) \mapsto \left( \begin{matrix}x+y-xy\\x^2\end{matrix} \right)$$
How do you determine the set of points in $\mathbb{R^2}$ such that $f$ is invertible near those points, and compute the derivative of the inverse map. I believe this is done using inverse and/or implicit function theorem. I get the derivative:
$$Df(x,y) = \left( \begin{matrix}1-y&1-x\\2x&0\end{matrix} \right)$$
But according to the inverse function theorem since $f$ continuously differentiable we have:
$$Df^{-1}(x,y) = \left[ Df(f^{-1}(x, y)) \right]^{-1}$$
and I computed $f^{-1}(x, y) = \left( \begin{matrix}\pm \sqrt x\\ \frac{x \mp \sqrt y}{1 \mp \sqrt y}\end{matrix} \right)$ But this inverse mapping sends one point to two so I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.

Take $(a,b)\in\Bbb R^2$. Then $f$ is differentable at $(a,b)$ and the Jacobian of $Df_{(a,b)}$ is$$\begin{bmatrix}1-b&1-a\\2a&0\end{bmatrix}.\tag1$$If $a=0$ or $a=1$, then $(1)$ is not invertible. At all other points of $\Bbb R^2$, $(1)$ is invertible and its inverse is$$\begin{bmatrix}0&-\frac1{2a}\\\frac1{1-a}&\frac{1-b}{2a(a-1)}\end{bmatrix}.\tag2$$So, at those points $f$ is locally invertible, and the Jacobian of $Df^{-1}$ at $(a+b-ab,a^2)$ is $(2)$.
