Proof

We apply the inverse function theorem to the map $\Phi(x, y) = (x, F(x, y))$ .

Let $\Omega$ , $F$ and $(a, b)$ be as in the statement. Define $\Phi \colon \Omega \to \R^n \times \R^m$ by $\Phi(x, y) = (x, F(x, y))$ .
The components of $\Phi$ are the coordinates $x_i$ and the components of $F$ . So $\Phi$ is of class C^1, and its Jacobian matrix at $(x, y)$ is the block matrix $\begin{pmatrix} I & 0 \\ D_x F(x, y) & D_y F(x, y) \end{pmatrix}$ .
By the determinant of a block triangular matrix, applied to the transpose, and since a matrix and its transpose have the same determinant, $\det D\Phi(x, y) = \det D_y F(x, y)$ .
Since $D_y F(a, b)$ is invertible, its determinant is not zero, so $\det D\Phi(a, b) \ne 0$ .
By the inverse function theorem with $k = 1$ , there are open sets $V' \subseteq \Omega$ with $(a, b) \in V'$ and $W'$ with $\Phi(a, b) = (a, 0) \in W'$ . The map $\Phi$ is a bijection from $V'$ onto $W'$ , with inverse $\Psi \colon W' \to V'$ of class $C^1$ .
The map $\Phi$ does not change the first coordinate $x$ . So $\Psi$ does not change it either: $\Psi(x, z) = (x, \eta(x, z))$ for some $\eta \colon W' \to \R^m$ . The map $\eta$ is of class $C^1$ , since its components are components of $\Psi$ .
For $(x, z) \in W'$ , the equation $\Phi(\Psi(x, z)) = (x, z)$ says $F(x, \eta(x, z)) = z$ .
Since $V'$ is open, there is $r > 0$ such that every point within distance $r$ of $(a, b)$ lies in $V'$ . Let $U_0 = \set{x : \norm{x - a} < r/2}$ and $V = \set{y : \norm{y - b} < r/2}$ . If $x \in U_0$ and $y \in V$ , then $\norm{(x, y) - (a, b)} \le \norm{x - a} + \norm{y - b} < r$ . So $U_0 \times V \subseteq V'$ .
Let $U = \set{x \in U_0 : (x, 0) \in W' \text{ and } \eta(x, 0) \in V}$ . The map $x \mapsto (x, 0)$ is continuous and $W'$ is open, so the first condition defines an open set. On it, $x \mapsto \eta(x, 0)$ is continuous, and $V$ is open. So $U$ is open.
We have $\Psi(a, 0) = (a, b)$ , since $\Phi(a, b) = (a, 0)$ . So $\eta(a, 0) = b \in V$ , and $a \in U$ .
Define $g \colon U \to V$ by $g(x) = \eta(x, 0)$ . By step 9, $g(x) \in V$ . By step 7, $F(x, g(x)) = 0$ for $x \in U$ .
Conversely, let $(x, y) \in U \times V$ with $F(x, y) = 0$ . Then $(x, y) \in V'$ by step 8, and $\Phi(x, y) = (x, 0) = \Phi(x, g(x))$ . Also $(x, g(x)) = \Psi(x, 0) \in V'$ .
Since $\Phi$ is injective on $V'$ , we get $y = g(x)$ . With step 11: for $(x, y) \in U \times V$ , $F(x, y) = 0$ if and only if $y = g(x)$ .
The function $g$ is unique. If $\tilde g \colon U \to V$ has the same property, then $F(x, \tilde g(x)) = 0$ with $(x, \tilde g(x)) \in U \times V$ , so $\tilde g(x) = g(x)$ by step 13.
The function $g$ is the composition of $x \mapsto (x, 0)$ with the $C^1$ map $\eta$ . By the chain rule, $\partial g / \partial x_i (x) = \partial \eta / \partial x_i (x, 0)$ , which is continuous. So $g$ is of class $C^1$ .
Let $x \in U$ . The maps $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are differentiable, by continuous partials. By the derivative of the inverse function, $D\Phi(x, g(x))$ is invertible. By step 3 and the determinant criterion, $D_y F(x, g(x))$ is invertible.
Differentiate the identity $F(x, g(x)) = 0$ on the open set $U$ with the chain rule. This gives $D_x F(x, g(x)) + D_y F(x, g(x)) \, Dg(x) = 0$ .
Multiplying on the left by $\big( D_y F(x, g(x)) \big)^{-1}$ gives $Dg(x) = -\big( D_y F(x, g(x)) \big)^{-1} D_x F(x, g(x))$ .

Idea

The map $(x, y) \mapsto (x, F(x, y))$ keeps $x$ and records the value of $F$ . Its derivative is invertible exactly when $D_y F$ is, so it has a local inverse. Reading off the inverse at the points $(x, 0)$ gives the solution $y = g(x)$ of $F(x, y) = 0$ , and differentiating $F(x, g(x)) = 0$ gives the formula for $Dg$ .
