need help for a differentiable function!

sam (.sam.):

Do you have a question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to find the x values where the function is not differentiable

OpenStudy (amistre64):

differentiable implies limits ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

limits only play nice on "smooth curves"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so it's not differientable at -5 -4, -2 and 2 ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct, and i see one more place that it may not be good at

OpenStudy (amistre64):

recall that a derivative defines a slope as well; so if we have a "vertical" slope, it is undefined do to a division by 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh really?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

at x=0 it looks like the slope of the line may be vertical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yeah! can i ask u another question?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u ! i need to find the derivative of this function 7x√+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know what to do but it doesnt give me the right answer!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i cant read the function like that ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u mean?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\(\Large\text{7x√+4}\) ; means nothing to me ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then can u help me with this problem : The figure below shows a function g(x) and its tangent line at the point B=(2.8,7.8). If the point A on the tangent line is (2.77,7.87), fill in the blanks below to complete the statements about the function g at the point B.
