A function is differentiable on when, at each , its difference quotient has a finite limit of a function:
Here and .
For sufficiently small nonzero , the difference quotient has absolute value at most , because it tends to . Consequently
This is continuity at . Since was arbitrary, differentiability implies continuity on .
