Question about calculating the gradient of a composite function
r = ( x , y ) = x i + y j
‖ r ‖ = x 2 + y 2
Let's assume that r ≠ 0
We now define f ( x , y ) = r m
What is the right expression for ∇ f ?
1. m r m − 1 r
2. m r m − 2 r
3. m r m − 1
4. m r 0.5 m − 1 r
Reasoning was that it should be number 1 :
the derivative of f according to x comes out as m r m − 1 ( x x 2 + y 2 ) , while the derivative of f according to y comes out as m r m − 1 ( y x 2 + y 2 ) . x 2 + y 2 = ‖ r ‖ = 1 , and therefore this is equal to m r m − 1 r .

Let f : D → D (unit disk) be a holomorphic function with f ( 0 ) = 0 , | f ′ ( 0 ) | < 1 . For f n = f ∘ ⋯ ∘ f , show that ∑ n = 1 ∞ f n ( z ) converges uniformly on compact subsets in D .
I tried Schwarz lemma so that | f ( z ) | ≤ | z | , and I tried to use Weierstrass M test, but I don't know how f n is bounded. How to solve this problem?

Lets have y : R → R 2 and that f : R 2 → R 2 , and lets assume that f ( y ( x ) ) is given and that y ( x ) = y ( x 0 ) + ∫ x 0 x f ( y ( t ) ) d t
I'm a bit confused how there can be a function of y ( t ) inside of the function definition for y ( x ) .
I took the example that y ( x ) = ( x 2 , x ) and f ( y , z ) = ( y + z , y − z )
⇒ f ( y ( x ) ) = f ( x 2 , x ) = ( x 2 + x , x 2 − x )
And now if we follow the definition of y ( x ) we get:
y ( x ) = y ( x 0 ) + ∫ x 0 x f ( y ( t ) ) d t
y ( x ) = y ( x 0 ) + ∫ x 0 x ( t 2 + t , t 2 − t ) d t
⇒ y ( x ) = y ( x 0 ) + ( 1 3 t 3 + 1 2 t 2 , 1 3 t 3 − 1 2 t 2 ) | x 0 x
⇒ y ( x ) = ( 1 3 x 3 + 1 2 x 2 + C 1 , 1 3 x 3 − 1 2 x 2 + C 2 )
Where is mistake?

Two continuous functions f ( x ) and g ( x ) , is it possible that I expand f ( g ( x ) ) at g ( 0 ) using a series of g ( x ) ?
For example,
f ( g ( x ) ) = f ( g ( 0 ) ) + f ′ ( g ( 0 ) ) g ( x ) + f ″ ( g ( 0 ) ) 2 g 2 ( x ) + ⋯
In my case, g ( x ) = e − x 2 ( 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 ) .

Trying to calculate the value of π 4 90 . Although I know the exact value (which I found on google to be π 4 90 ) but I wanted to derive it by myself. While doing so, I arrived at this rather peculiar expression: C = 7 ℼ 4 720 − 1 2 − P 2
where C is the value of the composite zeta function at 2 and P is the prime zeta function at 2 . My question is this. What will be the value of C ?

The question is:
f ( x ) = x x − 1
g ( x ) = 1 x
h ( x ) = x 2 − 1
Find f ∘ g ∘ h and state its domain.
The answer the textbook states is that the domain is all real values of x , except ± 1 and ± 2 .
However surely the domain excludes 0 as well, since g ( 0 ) is undefined.

Thorem: If f ( x ) is continuous at L and lim x → a g ( x ) = L , then lim x → a f ( g ( x ) = f ( lim x → a g ( x ) ) = f ( L ) .
Proof: Assume f ( x ) is continuous at a point L , and that lim x → a g ( x ) = L .
∀ ϵ > 0 , ∃ δ > 0 : [ | x − L | < δ ⟹ | f ( x ) − f ( L ) | < ε ] .
And ∀ δ > 0 , ∃ δ ′ > 0 : [ | x − a | < δ ′ ⟹ | g ( x ) − L < δ ] .
So, ∀ δ > 0 , ∃ δ ′ > 0 : [ | x − a | < δ ′ ⟹ | f ( g ( x ) ) − f ( L ) | < ϵ ] .
lim x → a g ( x ) = L so f ( lim x → a g ( x ) ) = f ( L ) .

Derivative of this trig function is:
d d x [ sec ⁡ ( x 12 ) ] = sec ⁡ ( x 12 ) ∗ tan ⁡ ( x 12 ) ∗ d d x ( x 12 ) = sec ⁡ ( x 12 ) ∗ tan ⁡ ( x 12 ) ∗ 1 12
If chain rule is not applied to this function like this because the function is "composite" which is why it should be done as the first variant, then how was chain rule altered for this function in the first variant?
