Compare the right-hand and left-hand derivatives to determine whether or not the function is differentiable at the point
whose coordinates are given.
-
$y = x$ $y = 2 x$
A) Since $\lim _ { x - \theta ^ { + } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 1$ while $\lim _ { x \rightarrow \theta ^ { - } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 2 , f ( x )$ is not differentiable at $x = 0$.
B) Since $\lim _ { x \rightarrow \theta ^ { + } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 2$ while $\lim _ { x \rightarrow \theta ^ { - } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 1 , f ( x )$ is not differentiable at $x = 0$.
C) Since $\lim _ { x - \theta ^ { + } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = - 2$ while $\lim _ { x - \theta ^ { - } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = - 1 , f ( x )$ is not differentiable at $x = 0$.
D) Since $\lim _ { x \rightarrow \theta ^ { + } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 1$ while $\lim _ { x - \theta ^ { - } } f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 1 , f ( x )$ is differentiable at $x = 0$.
