Help with differentiation Please! Problem Below

OpenStudy (rizags):

If\[f(x) = x^2, x \le1\] and \[f(x)=2x, x>1\] is f differentiable at 1?

OpenStudy (rizags):

wait though, it isn't continuous at 1

OpenStudy (marigirl):

your write cuz it looks like this |dw:1444166725638:dw| IT is continuous but not differentable at x=1 sorry if i confused u before

OpenStudy (rizags):

that isnt continuous

OpenStudy (rizags):

also why is it not differentiable

OpenStudy (marigirl):

Limits: usually we look at a specific value when the graph approaches a number that we are after. A limit won't exist when we get different solutions from above and below graph (See my picture)
