    5:32 here I didn’t really understand why we don’t put the equal, Is it something that I have to do every time or there is a specific thing that tells me if I need to?

      We need to investigate first before we can include the equal to.
      If g(x) is not differentiable at x = 2, we cannot include x = 2 in the domain of g'(x).
      If g(x) is differentiable at x = 2, then we can include x = 2 in the domain of g'(x).

    i have a question isn’t it better to say derivative from the left and derivative from the right
    (LHD=RHD) and not limit of derivative, because the limit of derivative doesn’t have to exist for a function to be differentiable at a certain point the left and right hand derivatives must be equal not necessarily the limits of derivatives

    Great explanation ! I have one question : In the last example , the reason for failing the differentiability test , is it because the limit does not prove that it is differentiable but if it were it would be equal to 1/2 ? If you use the epsilon-delta definition of the limit for the derivative , can you skip the continuity test ?

    Hello , why do we have to show that g(x) is continuous first

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  10 місяців тому +1

      For a function to be differentiable, it must be continuous. We can have a situation where we have a function with a jump discontinuity, and the slopes to the right before and after the jump are equal (this is a differentiable trap). But that function would not be differentiable, because we need to be able to follow the slope of the tangent line immediately to the left and right to the point of tangency.

    Thank you, it's helpful.
    But I have a question, what if you do the continuous part and you get the same values for the right and left side then for the differentiable part you find different values...
    For example maybe you are given a f(x) = 4 if x

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  5 місяців тому

      The function you described is continuous but not differentiable at x = 2. For a function to be continuous, left/right check would have to work out for f and f'.

  • @arestes
    @arestes 3 місяці тому +1

    I'm sorry to bump like this... but the way you try to prove that g is differentiable at x=2 at 5:50 is wrong. It assumes that the derivative is continuous. There are certainly derivatives that turn out not to be continuous, so the logic is faulty. I agree that most exam-like examples will succeed in checking the lateral limits of the derivative being equal, corresponding to the actual lateral limits of the increment quotient... but still, it's not the way to prove differentiability.

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  3 місяці тому +2

      I appreciate the comment! Thanks for doing a deep dive into the concept. The method I showed was for determining if a piecewise function was differentiable at a point- specifically for courses like AP Calculus or university calculus.
      I agree that we cannot assume the derivative is continuous if we want to write a rigorous proof.
      For a question that requires a formal proof/explanation, I would use the limit definition of differentiable. For a real analysis level course, we would have to go down the epsilon delta rabbit hole 🕳.
      Thanks for adding so much to the comment section!

    I have a doubt "differentiable then it is continuous" But why you are solving first continuous then differentiable any other specific reason for it can you explain me as soon as possible

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  2 роки тому +5

      If a function is differentiable then it is continuous is a theorem in many calculus textbooks. I solve for continuity first because a function cannot be differentiable at a point if it is not connected at that point.
      The most common trap with differentiability is to find a piecewise function that has a jump discontinuity. Imagine a piecewise function that is made of two linear segments with equal slopes, but a jump discontinuity at x = 0. Even though the slope of the lines near 0 are the same, the function would not be differentiable at x = 0.
