Exercise 1

Find the point in the function y = |x + 2| where it has no derivative. Justify the result by representing it graphically.

Exercise 2

Find the point in the function y = |x ² − 5x + 6| where it has no derivative. Justify the result by representing it graphically.

Exercise 3

Study the continuity and differentiability of the function defined by:

f(x) =

Exercise 4

Given the function:

For what values of a is the function differentiable?

Exercise 5

Determine the values of a and b where the following function is continuous and differentiable:

f(x) =

Exercise 6

Determine the values of a and b for which the function is differentiable at all points:

Exercise 7

Find the points where y = 250 − |x² −1| has no derivative.

Exercise 8

Determine for which values of a and b the function is continuous and differentiable:

Solution of exercise 1

Find the point in the function y = |x + 2| where it has no derivative. Justify the result by representing it graphically.

f(-2)= \lim _ {x \rightarrow -2^{-}} f(x) = \lim _ {x \rightarrow -2^{+}} f(x)=0

The function is continuous.

             

It has no derivative at P(−2,0).

 

Solution of exercise 2

Find the point in the function y = |x ² − 5x + 6| where it has no derivative. Justify the result by representing it graphically.

f(2)= \lim _ {x \rightarrow 2^{-}} f(x) = \lim _ {x \rightarrow 2^{+}}f(x) = 0

f(3)= \lim _ {x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) = \lim _ {x \rightarrow 3^{+}}f(x) = 0

The function is continuous.

             

           

The function is not differentiable at: x = 2 and x = 3 or at points P1(2,0) and P2(3,0).

 

Solution of exercise 3

Study the continuity and differentiability of the function defined by:

The function is not continuous at x = 0 because it has no image. Therefore it is not differentiable.

\lim _ {x \rightarrow (\frac{\pi}{2}) ^ {-}}\frac{2x}{\pi} + 1= \lim _ {x \rightarrow (\frac{\pi}{2}) ^ {+}} sin \frac {\pi}{2} + 1 = 2

f(\frac{\pi}{2}) = \lim _ {x \rightarrow (\frac{\pi}{2})}f(x)

The function is continuous.

             

The function is not differentiable at any point.

 

Solution of exercise 4

Given the function:

For what values of a is the function differentiable?

\lim _ {x \rightarrow 1 ^ {-}}(3 - ax^2) = 3 - a    \lim _ {x \rightarrow 1 ^ {+}}  \frac {2}{ax} =\frac {2}{a}

           

             

 

             

                         

Differentiable at a = 1

For x = −1, it is not continuous.

 

Solution of exercise 5

Determine the values of a and b where the following function is continuous and differentiable:

        \lim _ {x \rightarrow 0 ^ {-}}(x^3 - x) = 0    \lim _ {x \rightarrow 0 ^ {+}} (ax + b) = b

Solution of exercise 6

Determine the values of a and b for which the function is differentiable at all points:

A differentiable function has to be continuous. In this case the function is not continuous for x = 0, that is to say, there are no values for a and b which make the function continuous.

Therefore, there are no values of a and b for which the function is differentiable.

 

Solution of exercise 7

Find the points where y = 250 − |x² −1| has no derivative.

     

 

\lim_{x\rightarrow 1 ^ {-}} 250 - (x ^2 - 1) = 250           \lim_{x \rightarrow 1 ^ {+}} 250 + (x ^2 - 1) = 250

\lim_{x \rightarrow 1 ^ {-}} 250 + (x^2 - 1) = 250         \lim_{x \rightarrow 1 ^ {+}} 250 - (x ^2 - 1) = 250

The function is continuous.

             

             

Is not differentiable at x = −1 and x = 1.

 

Solution of exercise 8

Determine for which values of a and b the function is continuous and differentiable:

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^ {-}} (x ^2 + 1) = 2

\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 ^{+}} \sqrt{ax + b} = \sqrt{b}

             

\lim_{x \rightarrow 2 ^ {-}} \sqrt{2a + b} = \sqrt {2a + 4}

\lim_{x \rightarrow 2 ^ {+}} \frac {-2} {2 \sqrt{2}} + \frac {3} {\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}

           

For a = 1 and b = 4, the function is continuous.

                   

It is not differentiable at x = 0.

             

It is differentiable at x = 2.
