Problem Statement

Let f:RRf:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} a continuous function such that for any xRx\in \mathbb{R}, the limit limh0f(x+h)f(x)h\lim_{h\to 0} \left|\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\right| exists and it is finite. Prove that in any real point, ff is differentiable or it has finite one-side derivates, of the same modul, but different signs.
