Question about differentiation. on image

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2<x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry that didnt help me at all

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

that is for sure not it,

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

if anything its not differentiable at 2, and 4

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

I think just 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats right. but why?

OpenStudy (tiffanymak1996):

vertex?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we are looking for sharp points

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

there are two sharp points, that is when x = 2 and x = 4, but x=4 does not seem sharp enough

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 4 and 2 is the answer

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

think of f(x) = |x| at x = 0

OpenStudy (tiffanymak1996):

if you treat differentiation as slope, then it should make sense

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ahh ok looks like 4 is sharp enough

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so anything about that sharp will not be differentiable
