Math Problem Statement

solve

At which points is the function below not differentiable?

Solution

To determine where the function is not differentiable, look for points where there are sharp corners, cusps, vertical tangents, or discontinuities.

From the graph, the function is not differentiable at:

  • x=3x = -3 (sharp corner)
  • x=2x = 2 (sharp corner)

Thus, the function is not differentiable at x=3x = -3 and x=2x = 2.
