Topic 2.4: Connecting Differentiability and Continuity: Determining When Derivatives Do and Do Not Exist
Learning Objective: FUN-2.A
Explain the relationship between differentiability and continuity.
Essential Knowledge: FUN-2.A.1
If a function is differentiable at a point, then it is continuous at that point. In particular, if a point is not in the domain of f, then it is not in the domain of f'.
Essential Knowledge: FUN-2.A.2
A continuous function may fail to be differentiable at a point in its domain. Illustrative examples: The left hand and right hand limits of the difference quotient are not equal, as in f(x) = |x| at x = 0; The tangent line is vertical and has no slope, as in f(x) = x^(1/3) at x = 0.
