On an application of the chain rule.
$begingroup$
Let $f: mathbb{R} rightarrow mathbb{R} $ be continuously differentiable, then it's well know that
begin{align*}
f(x) & = f(y) + int_0^1 frac{partial f (y- t(x-y))}{partial t} , dt \ & = f(y) + int_0^1 f' (y- t(x-y)) (x-y) , dt
end{align*}
Let $g: mathbb{R} rightarrow mathbb{R} $ also be continuously differentiable. I perform the following derivation:
begin{align*}
g(f(x)) & = g(f(y)) + int_0^1 frac{partial g( f (y- t(x-y)))}{partial t} , dt \ & = g(f(y)) + int_0^1 g'(f (y- t(x-y) ) f' (y- t(x-y) (x-y) , dt tag{1}
end{align*}
I thought this derivation was correct but taking $g(f(x)) := f(x) / x^2$ and $f(x) := x^3$ I calculate $$g'(f(x)) = frac{f'(x) x^2 - 2x f(x)} { x^4} = frac{3x^4 - 2x^4}{x^4} =1$$
and $f'(x) = 3x^2$ and plugging this into my derivation gives
begin{align*}
x & = y + int_0^1 (y- t(x-y))^2 (x-y) , dt
end{align*}
and this is just wrong. Where is the error in my derivation of the formula in $(1)$ and how could I fix it?

There is a mess about our $g$ function. I guess you want to say $ g(x)=x $, but if $ g(x)=x $, then $ g(f(x))= f(x) $ rather than $f(x)/{x^2}$. You need a clearer definition for $g$.
