For what values of x is the function discontinuous?

For what values of x is the function not differentiable?
At what marked points is the derivative positive?
At what marked points is the derivative negative?
At what marked points is the derivative zero?
At which of the marked points is the derivative greatest?
At which of the marked points is the derivative least?

3. Suppose that the point ( a, b) is an arbitrary point on the graph of y =

in
x

the first quadrant. Prove that the area of the triangle formed by the tangent
line through ( a, b) and the coordinate axes is 2. (You will find it helpful to
create a sketch, find the equation of the tangent line, and find the x- and yintercepts of that tangent line)
