Prove differentiable for a function

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around proving the differentiability of the function g(x,y) = q(f(x,y)) at the point (0,0), given that f(x,y) is differentiable at that point and f(0,0)=0. The user attempts to establish the differentiability of g by leveraging the differentiability of f and the properties of the function q, particularly that q'(0)=1. They express the limit conditions necessary for differentiability and relate them to the behavior of f and q near (0,0). Despite making progress, the user remains uncertain about how to fully connect these concepts to complete the proof. The conversation highlights the complexities involved in multi-variable calculus and the need for a solid understanding of limits and derivatives.

Homework Statement


f(x,y) is differentiable in (0,0) and f(0,0)=0
q(t) devirate t=0 and q'(0)=1 q(0)=0
let it be g(x,y) = q(f(x,y))
prove that g differentiable in (0,0) and that f_{x}(0,0) = g_{x}(0,0)

Homework Equations


all calculus

The Attempt at a Solution


Well my idea is like this
First I know that because f(x,y) differentiable at (0,0) so
f(0+x,0+y)= f(0,0) +f_{x}(0,0)*x + f_{y}(0,0)*y + o(||x,y||)

lim_{(x,y)->(0,0)} \frac{f(x,y)-f_{x}(0,0)*x - f_{y}(0,0)*y}{||x,y||} = 0

and when trying to prove that g(x,y) is differentiable I need to prove that
g(0+x,0+y) = g(0,0) + g_{x}(0,0)*x + g_{y}(0,0)*y + o(||x,y||)
g(0+x,0+y) = 0 + f_{x}(0,0)*q'(0)*x + f_{y}(0,0)*q'(0)*y + o(||x,y||)

g(0+x,0+y) = 0 + f_{x}(0,0)*1*x + f_{y}(0,0)*1*y + o(||x,y||)
lim_{(x,y)->(0,0)} \frac{q(f(x,y))-f_{x}(0,0)*x - f_{y}(0,0)*y}{||x,y||} = 0
And I'm a bit stuck in here..
logically I think I can use the fact that q'(0) = 1
lim_{(x)->(0)} \frac{q(0+x)+q(0)}{x} =\frac{q(x)}{x}= 1
But I don't manage to figure how

Thank you

Anyone?
I've made some more progress but its not enough,see
Because I know that q(x) has a derivative in t=0 then it means that
q(0+x) = q(0)+q'(0)x+o(|x|) (x->0)
Thats mean that: [ q(0)= 0 q'(0)=1)
lim_{x->0}\frac{q(x)-x}{|x|}=0

And I think maybe I need to use this with the knowledge that

lim_{(x,y)->(0,0)} \frac{f(x,y)-f_{x}(0,0)*x - f_{y}(0,0)*y}{||x,y||} = 0

Meaning that
f(x,y)-f_{x}(0,0)*x - f_{y}(0,0)*y = v(x,y)\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}
while lim_{(x.y)->(0,0)}v(x,y)=0
And that
q(f(x,y)) = g(x,y)

But I don't know how

Anyone Please?

What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
