Differentiability at an Interior Point is a Local Property

If a real function restricted to a subinterval containing a neighbourhood of an interior point is differentiable there, then the function itself is differentiable at that point, with the same derivative.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let II and JJ be intervals in R\mathbb{R} with I⊆JI\subseteq J, let f:J→Rf:J\to\mathbb{R}, and let f∣If|_{I} denote the restriction of ff to II. Let x0x_{0} be a point of II that is an interior point of II and also an interior point of JJ, and let ∣t∣|t| denote the absolute value of t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R}. Suppose that there is a real number r>0r>0 such that

{y∈J:∣y−x0∣<r}⊆I.\{y\in J:|y-x_{0}|<r\}\subseteq I .

If f∣If|_{I} is differentiable at x0x_{0} with derivative LL, then ff is differentiable at x0x_{0} with derivative LL.
