$9.17$ Theorem Suppose f maps an open set $E\subset R^n$ into $R^m,$ and f is differentiable at a point $\mathbf{x}\in E.$ Then the partial derivatives $D_jf_i(\mathbf{x})$ exist, and \begin{align} \mathbf{f'(x)e_j}=\sum\limits_{i=1}^m(D_jf_i)\mathbf{(x)u_i} &&(1\le j\le n)\tag{27} \end{align}
$\mathbf{e_i}'$s and $\mathbf{u_j}'$s are standard bases of $R^n$ and $R^m$ respectively.
Proof Fix $j.$ Since f is differentiable at $\mathbf{x},$ $$\mathbf{f(x+}t\mathbf{e_j)}-\mathbf{f(x)}=\mathbf{f'(x)(}t\mathbf{e_j)}+\mathbf{r(}t\mathbf{e_j)}\tag{28}$$ where $\left|\mathbf{r(}t\mathbf{e_j)}\right|/t\to 0$ as $t\to 0.$ The linearity of $\mathbf{f'(x)}$ shows therefore that
$$\lim_{t\to 0}\sum\limits_{i=1}^m\frac{f_i(\mathbf{x}+t\mathbf{e_j})-f_i(\mathbf{x})}{t}\mathbf{u_i}=\mathbf{f'(x)e_j.}\tag{29}$$
It follows that each quotient in this sum has a limit, as $t\to 0$(see Theorem $4.10$), so that each $(D_jf_i)(\mathbf{x})$ exists, and then $(27)$ follows from $(29).$
Question Suppose I denote $g_i(t) =\frac{f_i(\mathbf{x}+t\mathbf{e_j})-f_i(\mathbf{x})}{t}\mathbf{u_i}.$ Then $(29)$ is just saying that $\lim_{t\to 0}\sum g_i(t) =L.$ Then why can't I just conclude $\lim_{t\to 0}g_i(t)=l$ for some $l\in R^m.$ Why do I need Theorem $4.10$ here?
