Is this problem right?












0














Let $f$ be a continuous function from an open interval $Isubseteqmathbb{R}$ to a Banach space $E$. The problem/exercise asks to prove that $f$ is differentiable in $x_0in I$ if and only if the limit
$$lim_{(h,k)to (0,0)}frac{f(x_0+h)-f(x_0-h)}{h+k}$$
exists when $h,kgt 0$.



Shouldn't it be
$$frac{f(x_0+h)-f(x_0-k)}{h+k}$$
otherwise i don't see what is $k$ doing there in the denominator. I've been able to do the exercise asuming it wanted to say "$k$" there because, if not, then $0=lim_{kto0^+}(lim_{hto0^+})$ can be very different to $lim_{hto0^+}(lim_{kto0^+})$ and they should be equal. Should I try it as it is?? The book this is from doesn't mess around and the $h$ could be on purpose to make the exercise very difficult.



Thanks
