derivatives - How to prove this theorem about differentiability of a multivariable function?

The theorem says that:





A function f:R2R is differentiable at (x0,y0) if its partial derivatives fx and fy are continuous at (x0,y0).




How do I prove this? I know that for a function to be differentiable, the condition is:



lim



The problem is that the definition of differentiability is using the values of partial derivatives at the point itself, and not the function. I am not understanding how I can "link" that statement to the definition of continuity of partial derivatives, which are functions themselves. I am not even getting where I could start!
