Reason: One-dimensional derivative arithmetic (differentiable implies continuous; sum, constant multiple, and product rules) and continuity arithmetic for the c54 calculus chain; prerequisite for Gronwall's lemma. Approved by Aaron.

Statement

Let II be an interval, let f,g:IRf,g:I\to\mathbb{R}, and let cc be a real number. Here f+gf+g, cfcf, and fgfg denote the pointwise sum, scalar multiple, and product.

1. (Differentiability implies continuity) If x0Ix_0\in I is an interior point of II and ff is differentiable at x0x_0, then ff is continuous at x0x_0.

2. (Sum and constant multiple) If x0Ix_0\in I is an interior point of II and ff and gg are differentiable at x0x_0, then f+gf+g and cfcf are differentiable at x0x_0 with

(f+g)(x0)=f(x0)+g(x0),(cf)(x0)=cf(x0),(f+g)'(x_0)=f'(x_0)+g'(x_0),\qquad (cf)'(x_0)=c\,f'(x_0),

and every constant function on II is differentiable at x0x_0 with derivative 00.

3. (Product rule) If x0Ix_0\in I is an interior point of II and ff and gg are differentiable at x0x_0, then fgfg is differentiable at x0x_0 with

(fg)(x0)=f(x0)g(x0)+f(x0)g(x0).(fg)'(x_0)=f'(x_0)\,g(x_0)+f(x_0)\,g'(x_0).

4. (Continuity arithmetic) Let ERE\subseteq\mathbb{R}, let φ,ψ:ER\varphi,\psi:E\to\mathbb{R} be continuous at a point x0Ex_0\in E, and let cRc\in\mathbb{R}. Then φ+ψ\varphi+\psi, cφc\varphi, and φψ\varphi\psi are continuous at x0x_0, and every constant function on EE is continuous at x0x_0.
