Derivative of a Finite Linear Combination of Real Functions

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, let I⊆RI\subseteq\mathbb{R} be order-convex, and let x0∈Ix_0\in I satisfy u<x0<vu<x_0<v for some u,v∈Iu,v\in I, so that x0x_0 is an interior point of II and derivatives at x0x_0 in the sense of Derivative at an Interior Point are defined.

Let mm be a natural number, let [m][m] be the initial segment determined by mm, and for each k∈[m]k\in[m] let ck∈Rc_k\in\mathbb{R} and let gk:I→Rg_k:I\to\mathbb{R} be differentiable at x0x_0, the value gk′(x0)g_k'(x_0) being well defined by Uniqueness of the Derivative at an Interior Point. Let G:I→RG:I\to\mathbb{R} be the function whose value at xx is the finite sum

G(x)=∑k=1mck gk(x).G(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{m}c_k\,g_k(x).

Then GG is differentiable at x0x_0 and

G′(x0)=∑k=1mck gk′(x0).G'(x_0)=\sum_{k=1}^{m}c_k\,g_k'(x_0).
