suppose f:A->B ; g:A->C and h:C->B be such that f = hog

by composite function theorem if h and g are differentiable then so is
f but does differentiability of f and g imply differentiability of h ?
or does differentiability of f and h imply differentiability of g ?

please reply.

Hello,
if this is a homework example, try to find a counterexample.

no its not homework!! i encountered this problem in learning about
fibre bundles. and i was not able to think of any counter-examples.
and i am a physics student. its been years when i last studied some
analysis.

Hint: Consider constant functions.

hey thanks :-) but suppose we have two more conditions g(A)=C, f(A)=B.
