Study the differentiability of the following functions at the point
a)
b)
Can we guess something about the continuity of the function?
See development and solution
Development:
To study the differentiability at
a)
The two values coincide, both approaching from the right and from the left. Therefore, this function is differentiable at
As it is differentiable we can say that it is continuous.
b)
The two values do not coincide, thus the function is not differentiable at
We can't say anything about the continuity in
Solution:
The first function is differentiable at
The second one is not differentiable at
