For this Question is if were to do $U_r$ after the first partial derivative. It will result in a function $U_r(x,y,θ)$ why is it that upon the second time I do a partial derivative, I need not consider it as the following $U_{rr}=frac{∂Ur}{∂x}·frac{∂x}{∂r}+frac{∂Ur}{∂y}·frac{∂y}{∂r}+frac{∂Ur}{∂θ}·frac{∂θ}{∂r}$? Instead what was considered to be the answer was $U_{rr}=frac{∂Ur}{∂x}·frac{∂x}{∂r}+frac{∂Ur}{∂y}·frac{∂y}{∂r}.$ Do we not need to consider the last term? and if so how would I set up a function to do the partial derivative of $frac{∂θ}{∂r}$?
Thanks

The function $u$ is constructed as a composition
$$
u=f(x,y),qquad x=rcostheta, y=rsintheta.
$$

If we write all the variable dependencies carefully we will get
$$
u(r,theta)=f(x(r,theta),y(r,theta)).
$$

Now using the chain rule
$$
frac{partial u}{partial r}=frac{partial f}{partial x}frac{partial x}{partial r}+frac{partial f}{partial y}frac{partial y}{partial r}=frac{partial f}{partial x}costheta+frac{partial f}{partial y}sintheta.
$$

Here the partial derivatives of $f$ are again compositions that depend on $x(r,theta)$ and $y(r,theta)$, which makes the second differentiation slightly more messy, but it is the same chain rule
$$
frac{partial^2 u}{partial r^2}=frac{partial}{partial r}left(frac{partial f}{partial x}right)costheta+frac{partial}{partial r}left(frac{partial f}{partial y}right)sintheta
$$

where e.g.
$$
frac{partial}{partial r}left(frac{partial f}{partial x}right)=frac{partial}{partial x}left(frac{partial f}{partial x}right)frac{partial x}{partial r}+frac{partial}{partial y}left(frac{partial f}{partial x}right)frac{partial y}{partial r}
$$
