For manifolds X,YRnX, Y \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}, define the terms tangent space to XX at a point xXx \in X and derivative dfxd f_{x} of a smooth map f:XYf: X \rightarrow Y. State the Inverse Function Theorem for smooth maps between manifolds without boundary.

Now let XX be a submanifold of YY and f:XYf: X \rightarrow Y the inclusion map. By considering the map f1:f(X)Xf^{-1}: f(X) \rightarrow X, or otherwise, show that dfxd f_{x} is injective for each xXx \in X.

Show further that there exist local coordinates around xx and around y=f(x)y=f(x) such that ff is given in these coordinates by

(x1,,xl)Rl(x1,,xl,0,,0)Rk,\left(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{l}\right) \in \mathbb{R}^{l} \mapsto\left(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{l}, 0, \ldots, 0\right) \in \mathbb{R}^{k},

where l=dimXl=\operatorname{dim} X and k=dimYk=\operatorname{dim} Y. [You may assume that any open ball in Rl\mathbb{R}^{l} is diffeomorphic to Rl\mathbb{R}^{l}.]
