Questions: The graph of the function f(x) is shown below. At which point(s) is f not differentiable? At which point(s) is f discontinuous?
Use a comma to separate multiple x-values.
Provide your answer below:
The function is not differentiable at the point(s) x= and is discontinuous at the point(s) x=
Transcript text: The graph of the function $f(x)$ is shown below. At which point(s) is $f$ not differentiable? At which point(s) is $f$ discontinuous?
Use a comma to separate multiple $x$-values.
Provide your answer below:
The function is not differentiable at the point(s) $x=$ $\square$ and is discontinuous at the \[ \text { point(s) } x= \] $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify points of discontinuity
A function is discontinuous at a point where there is a break in the graph. In the given graph, there are no breaks.
Step 2: Identify points of non-differentiability
A function is not differentiable at a point where the graph has a sharp corner, a cusp, a vertical tangent, or a discontinuity. The given graph has sharp corners at x = -7, x = -3, and x = -2. It has no cusps, vertical tangents, or discontinuities.
Final Answer
The function is not differentiable at the point(s) $x = -7, -3, -2$ and is discontinuous at the point(s) $x = $
