Definition Do the following.: Let f(x) be a function defined in an open interval containing a. The derivative of the function f(x) at a, denoted by f' (a), is defined by S" (a) = Jim f(x) – f(a) (3.5) Use limit definition (Formula 3.5 page 220 in the TextBook) to determine whether the function is differentiable at x = 2. 1. f(x) = |x – 2|.
