Answer:
- f'(1) exists: f'(1) = -2
- f'(0) DNE
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>a)</h3>The function is continuous for x > 0 . The derivative is defined on that interval and is equal to ...
f'(x) = -2x . . . . . for x > 0
Then at x = 1, the derivative is ...
f'(1) = -2(1)
f'(1) = -2
__
<h3>b)</h3>The function has a jump discontinuity at x=0, so the derivative does not exist at that point. A condition for the existence of the derivative is that the function is continuous at the point of interest.
