If the function $f: D \to {\mathbb R}$ is *differentiable* in $x_0\in D$ then there is a function $f_1: D \to {\mathbb R}$ that is continuous in $x_0$ such that $$f(x) = f(x_0) + (x-x_0) f_1(x) \,.$$ This means: $$f_1(x) = \frac{f(x) - f(x_0)}{x-x_0} \,.$$ Drag the point $x$ to see the function $f_1$.
