It is not differentiable at x=1 since the slope of the tangent line as x -> 1 from the right is 1 while the slope of the tangent line as x->1 from the left is -1

By definition of absolute value:

|x - 1| = \begin{cases} x - 1 & \text{if } x \ge 1 \\ -(x-1) & \text{if } x < 1 \end{cases}

Then the derivative is

\dfrac{d|x-1|}{dx} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x > 1 \\ -1 & \text{if } x < 1\end{cases}

but does not exist at x=1 because

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1^-} f'(x) = -1

while

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1^+} f'(x) = 1

and these limits are not equal, so the derivative is discontinuous and hence |x-1| is not differentiable at x=1.

To win a state "A" lottery, one must correctly select 5 numbers from a collection of 50 numbers (1 through 50). The order in whi
love history [14]
The number of possibilities for the first one is 50 choose 5, and the number of possibilities for the second one is 60 choose 6. Since 50 choose 5 is 2118760 and 60 choose 6 is 50063860. There are less possible outcomes for state "A" and therefore you have a higher chance of winning.
