Q2 of 64 Page 10

Show that f(x) = is not differentiable at x = 0.

For differentiability,


LHD(at x = 0) = RHD (at x = 0)


(LHD at x = 0) =


=


=


=


=


=


= Not defined


(RHD at x = 3) =


=


=


=


=


= Not defined


Since, LHD and RHD does not exist at x = 0


Hence, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0

Show that the function f defined as follows,

f (x) = rr 3x-2 , & 0<x less than equal to 3 2x^2 - x , & 1<x less than equal to 2 5x-4 , &x>2


Is continuous at x = 2, but not differentiable there at x = 2.
