We first prove the differentiation theorem. Fix and take nonzero with . The measurable difference quotientsconverge pointwise to . The mean value theorem and the assumed derivative bound give . In particular is measurable as a limit of quotients along a sequence, and its bound by proves integrability. The dominated convergence theorem, in its parameter-limit form, says that pointwise convergence with a common integrable bound permits convergence of the integrals. Applying it yieldsThe parameter-limit statement follows from the ordinary sequential theorem by applying it to every sequence of nonzero tending to zero.
For the specific function, , which is integrable by the allowed fact. It is differentiable in , withThe last majorant has integral one on , using the substitution . All three hypotheses therefore hold. The indicator of the parameter domain is one at every point under consideration and does not affect this derivative.
