f(x) = | x | find lim of f at x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me plz ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0, draw the graph. Or use the Left hand limit = right hand limit test.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean to say that.. limit at x = 0 exits?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does derivative at x = 0 exit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes and No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and no ............... i didn't understand ? so confused....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhhhhhh now i got u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes means limit exists and no means derivative don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Limit exists at x->0 but derivative is not defined at x=0

OpenStudy (experimentx):

limit is zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Experiment... i have some confusion... regarding derivative..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in my book it is said that f don't have derivative at x = 0 if at x =0 limit doesn't exits? what does it mean ?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

derivative is related to slope, while limit is related to value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but derivative is also a limit value

OpenStudy (experimentx):

derivative is limit value of slope limit is limit value of function itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh.... that is point of differentiability ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that = what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is point of differentiability ?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

"f don't have derivative at x = 0 if at x =0 limit doesn't exits" <-- this is untrue for derivative to exist => limit must exist for limit to exist => not necessary that derivative must exist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now i got .... thanks a lot alot .... :).... that is true but conversely not true..................:) thanks experiment :)

OpenStudy (experimentx):

sorry "f don't have derivative at x = 0 if at x =0 limit doesn't exits" <-- this is untrue" <--- this is true ... i misread question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IS IT TRUE that if derivative at x = 8 exists then lim at x = 8 also exists ?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

*i misread statement.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

yes ... if derivative exist, then limit must exist .... if limit exist then not necessarily derivative must exist. the above function is an example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now everything is clear .... :) :) :) :) thanks Experiment .. :)... i will come back with new problem.. :) if any ............

OpenStudy (experimentx):

k you are welcome.
