                              \mathrm{f(x)=|x|=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x, & x>0 \\ -x, & x<0 \end{array}\right.}

\mathrm{\text { Left derivative }=-1}

\mathrm{\text { Right derivative }=+1}

\therefore                          \mathrm{ LD\neq \mathrm{RD}}

 

The derivative does not exist at \mathrm{ x=0 . }
