Differentiability and Continuity -

 

Consider the function, f(x) = |x|, the modulus function is continuous at x = 0 but it is not differentiable at x= 0. As we see in the graph, at x = 0, it has a sharp edge, hence not differentiable.   

Function fail to Differentiable if

\\\boldsymbol{a.}\text {\;\; both } R f^{\prime}(a) \text { and } L f^{\prime}(a) \text { exist but are not equal, } \\ \mathbf{b.}\text {\;\; either or both } R f^{\prime}(a) \text { and } L f^{\prime}(a) \text { are not finite, and } \\ \mathbf{c.}\text {\;\; either or both } R f^{\prime}(a) \text { and } L f^{\prime}(a) \text { do not exist. }

\\f(x)=|2-|x-3||\\f(f(x))=|2-||2-|x-3||-3||\\

\\S=\left \{ (1,0),(3,2),(5,0) \right \}\\\sum_{x\in S}f(f(x))=\sum_{x\in S}|2-||2-|x-3||-3||\\=3
