Differentiability here is understood in the sense of the Fréchet derivative: there is a linear map $L:{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ such thatThe map $L=Df(x)$ is the Fréchet derivative. In finite dimensions a linear map is bounded, so $\Vert Lh\Vert \le C\Vert h\Vert$ for some $C$. The defining estimate therefore impliesThis is precisely continuity at $x$: differentiability implies continuity.
