From what has just been said, partitions of unity don't apply to holomorphic functions; their different behaviour relative to existence and analytic continuation is one of the roots of sheaf theory.
When one needs to talk about the set of all infinitely differentiable functions, and how elements of that space behave when differentiated and integrated, summed and taken limits of, then it turns out that the space of all smooth functions is an inappropriate choice, as it fails to be complete and closed under these operations.
Differentiable functions are often referred to as smooth.

In mathematics, a smooth function is one that is infinitely differentiable, i.e., has derivatives of all finite orders.

In other words, it is always possible to smoothly approximate a proper positive definite continuous V by one that is continuously differentiable away from zero (actually, the proof provides an infinitely differentiable such approximation), provided that we allow a negligible increase in gain.
We suppose given a continuous proper and positive definite V 2 W(\Sigma ; fl), and need to show the existence of some W 2 W(\Sigma ; fl0) which is C1 on O = Rn n f0g, in addition to being proper and positive definite.

Therefore f is differentiable at x; and f'(t) = -sin(t) is continuous - therefore this is a C^∞ function.
Hence lim(x->0) f(x) = 0 and therefore f is differentiable at 0.
Since lim(x->0) f'(x) = 0 = f'(0), f is continuously differentiable at 0 as well as on the entire Real line.

The gist of the implicit function theorem is that a set which satisfies a continuously differentiable implicit relation also locally satisfies explicit continuous differentiable equations.
The gist of the inverse function theorem is that a continuously differentiable mapping is locally a diffeomorphism.
The term immersion, which refers to an everywhere (within its domain) differentiable and everywhere full ranked map, is suggestive of the conclusion of the implicit function theorem: an immersion locally immerses a lower dimensional hypersurface in a larger ambient space in a recoverable manner, due to the injectivity of (an appropriate ‘partition’ of) the derivative.

The definition of differentiability for a function of many variables, of which I do not give a precise statement, captures the same idea: a function of many variables is differentiable at a point if there exists a good linear approximation of the function around the point.
Like the graph of a differentiable function of a single variable, the graph of a differentiable function of many variables is "smooth", with no "kinks".
The fact that each of the n partial derivatives of f exists for all values of the argument of f does not imply that f is differentiable.

In particular, it follows that f is one-to-one when restricted to this rectangle, and the inverse will be continuous if it exists.
Replacing the rectangle with a smaller one, we can assume the same is true when f is restricted to the closure of the rectangle.
Note: It follows from the formula for the derivative of the inverse that the inverse is also continuously differentiable.
