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.

3/4 yard long and 1/2 yard tall what is the area of the poster frame
zmey [24]
The area is 3/8 yd².

Area = length x width

Given:
length = 3/4 yard
width = 1/2 yard

Area = 3/4 yd * 1/2 yd
Area = 3*1/4*2
Area = 3/8 yd²

In multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators, then, multiply the denominators. lastly, simplify the fraction. 3/8 yd² is already in its simplest form.
