Proof that a function composition is differentiable

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on proving the differentiability of the function g(x) = f(x)Arctg(f(x)) at x = 1, given that f: R -> R is differentiable with f(1) = 1 and f'(1) = 2. Participants confirm that the differentiability of g can be established through the product and composition rules of differentiation. The calculation of g'(1) is also requested, emphasizing the need for clarity in applying these differentiation principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differentiable functions in calculus
  • Knowledge of product and composition rules of differentiation
  • Familiarity with the Arctangent function (Arctg)
  • Ability to compute derivatives at specific points
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the product rule and chain rule in differentiation
  • Practice calculating derivatives of composite functions
  • Explore the properties of the Arctangent function and its derivatives
  • Study examples of differentiability in real-valued functions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, particularly those focusing on differentiation, as well as educators seeking to clarify concepts related to function composition and differentiability.

Homework Statement


Let f:R->R, differentiable, f(1)=1 and f'(1)=2.

Homework Equations


Prove that g:R->R such that g(x)=f(x)Arctg(f(x)) is differentiable in x=1 and calculate g'(1)

The Attempt at a Solution


I would prove it saying that if a function is differentiable then the product and composition it's differentiable, but I don't think is that simple, am I wrong?

Thanks!

It does appear to be that simple, so I suppose that means, that you are wrong about it not being that simple.

Now, calculate g'(1) .
 
Thanks! ;)
