Can a maximum value of a continuous function f(x) on [a,b] occur at a point c in [a,b] where f'(c) does not exist?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking no, because it wouldn't be continuous then? Any second opinion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would imply f(x) has an asymptote, hole, discontinuity, corner, cusp... so, what would you consider f(x) then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

discontinuous?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what I would think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can ocur

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it is a corner or cusp.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah
