As we learnt in

Condition for differentiable -

A function  f(x) is said to be differentiable at  x=x_{\circ }  if   Rf'(x_{\circ })\:\:and\:\:Lf'(x_{\circ })   both exist and are equal otherwise non differentiable

-

 

 

 

f(x) =\frac{x}{1+\left | 1+x \right |}

f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{1+x}, x>0 \\ 0,x=0 \\ \frac{x}{1-x}, x<0 \end{matrix}\right.

f'(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{({1+x})^2}, x>0 \\ \frac{1}{({1-x})^2}, x<0 \end{matrix}\right.

So f'(0^+)= f'(0)

\therefore f(x) is differentiable for each x \epsilon R
