Note that this theorem can fail for manifold with boundary.

We start with two important observations.

\newthought{First}. The statement is local on charts: without loss of generality,
we can fix local coordinates on $M$ and $N$ respectively centred around $p$ and $F(p)$
and replace them altogether by two open subsets $U\subseteq \R^m$ and $V \subseteq \R^n$.

our choice of coordinates after the above observations implies that the gradient of $Q$ with respect to $x$ is regular, that is,
$\det \left( \frac{\partial Q^i}{\partial x^j} \right) \neq 0$ at $(x,y) = (0,0)$.

Since the gradient of $Q$ with respect to $x$ is regular, we are going to extend
the mapping with the identity on the rest of the coordinates to get a regular map
In particular, this implies that we can extend the mapping with
the identity on the rest of the coordinates to obtain a regular map
on the whole neighbourhood.
Let $\varphi : U \to \R^m$ be defined by $\varphi(x,y) = (Q(x,y), y)$. Then,

The claim then follows from a classical theorem in linear algebra.

Since $\id_{\R^k}$ makes the first $k$ columns of the matrix \eqref{eq:diff_DFp-1}
