Question

Transcribed Image Text:Show that the function f(x) = |x – 2| is not differentiable at 2.
We have
if x > 2
f(x) = |x – 2| =
if x < 2.
The right-hand limit is
lim (x) – f(2).
x-2+
and the left-hand limit is
lim (x) – f(2)
f(x) – f(2)
Since these limits are not equal, f'(2)
= lim
does not exist and fis not differentiable at 2.
Find a formula for f' and sketch its graph.
if x > 2
f'(x) =
if x < 2
