Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We say that a function is differentiable if it's derivative exists and it is continous over the domain of the original function. Recall that the function |x| is given as |x| = x if and |x|=-x if x<0. In both cases, we have either the function x or -x, which are one-degree polynomials. So, we can find easily their derivatives. So if f(x) = |x|. Then, we have that
We should check what happens x=0, since that is the point where the definition of f changes. We can check that
and
since this limits are not equal, the derivative is not continous at x=0. Hence, the derivative doesn't exist at x=0.
In this case, we say that |x| is differentiable at any x different from 0.
