real analysis - Prove that f(a)=limxrightarrowaf(x).

Let f be a real-valued function continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b).
Suppose that limxaf(x) exists.
Then, prove that f is differentiable at a and f(a)=limxaf(x).



It seems like an easy example, but a little bit tricky.
I'm not sure which theorems should be used in here.




==============================================================



Using @David Mitra's advice and @Pete L. Clark's notes
I tried to solve this proof.
I want to know my proof is correct or not.



By MVT, for h>0 and ch(a,a+h)
f(a+h)f(a)h=f(ch)


and limh0+ch=a.



Then limh0+f(a+h)f(a)h=limh0+f(ch)=limh0+f(a)




But that's enough? I think I should show something more, but don't know what it is.
