 As we have learned

Left Hand Derivative -

Left hand derivative of  f(x) at  x = x0  is given by

f'(x_{\circ })=\lim_{h\rightarrow \circ }\:\:\frac{f(x_{\circ }-h)-f(x_{\circ })}{(x_{\circ }-h)-(x_{\circ })}Lf'(x_{\circ })=\lim_{h\rightarrow \circ }\:\:\frac{f(x_{\circ }-h)-f(x_{\circ })}{(x_{\circ }-h)-(x_{\circ })}

-

 

 LHD=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^{+}}\frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{(0-h)-0}= \lim_{h\rightarrow 0^{+}}\frac{\sin |-h| + |-h |-0}{-h}

=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^{+}}\frac{\sin |h|+|h|}{-h} = \lim_{h\rightarrow 0^{+}}\frac{\sin h + h }{h}

=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^{+}}\frac{-\sin h}{h} - \lim_{h\rightarrow 0^{+}}\frac{h}{h}=-1-1=-2
