Secants straddling a differentiability point (vn​−un​g(vn​)−g(un​)​→g′(x))

If un​≤x≤vn​, un​<vn​ and both endpoints tend to x, differentiability gives g(x+h)=g(x)+g′(x)h+r(h) with r(h)=o(∣h∣). The error in the secant is bounded by ε(∣vn​−x∣+∣un​−x∣)/(vn​−un​)=ε for large n. Thus these secants converge even when either endpoint equals x.
