ITS FROM DIFFERENTIATION CHAPTER:- SHOW THAT f(x)={xsin1/x , x is not equal to 0 {0 , x is equal to 0 is continuous but not differentiable at x equal to 0.

If i remember this is one of those where you find the limits as it goes to 0 to show that it's not differentiable and then show that any other number the limit goes to a specific number

CAN U WORK OUT N EXPLAIN BRIEFLY?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'd have to look it up. it's been a while however i remember doing this for calc 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK.............. DO IT. TAKE UR TIME

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

can you use lehospital rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you make sure that the top equation is xsin(1)/x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for one find the the limit when x-> 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use L'opital's Rule. Take the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator,, then do direct substitution of 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation is diferentiable since it is composed of continuos functions in R\{0}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please everyone show the work out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \[\frac{d(xsin(\frac{1}{x})}{dx}=\sin(\frac{1}{x})-\frac{\cos(\frac{1}{x})}{x}\]

1) definition of limit x->c f(x) = L for any ε>0, small as you wish, there is a δ>0 such that for every x that has |x-c|<δ you have that |f(x)-L|<ε therefore you also have that |k*f(x)-k*L|<k*ε just set the initial ε at 1/k of your desired ε and you have the proof lim (x->0) f(x) = 0 (sin(1/x) is limited between 1 and -1 while x goes to 0), lim (x->0) f(x) = f(0). 2a) proved f'(0)=lim (h->0) [f(h)-f(0)]/h = lim (h->0) f(h)/h = lim (h->0) sin(1/h) and the limit does not exist, the function oscillates infinitely between 1 and -1 as h goes to 0. alternatively put, definte t=1/h, lim (h->0) sin (1/h) = lim t-> infinity sin(t) and you can easily see that it does not exist. 3) the function is x for x>=0 and -x for x<0. The right derivative is +1 and the left is -1. They are different, therefore it is not differentiable
