    AB Caiculus Differentiability and Piecewise Functions To determine if differentiable at the point of change, x=c Theorem: If #(@)is continuous at x= and lim f"(x) and lim f(x) exist. Then / is differentiable at x=c if these limits are equal. Ifso, then f‘(c) = lim f’() = lim f"(x) You must do the following 1) Make sure the function is continuous at x=c S(6) = lim f(@) = lim f(s) 2) Find "(x) of the piecewise function Find lim /"(@) and lim f(x) These must be equal Example Let s@)= { Sea axtb, x>1 Find values of a and b so that f will be differentiable at x=1 Solution: To find a and b, you need two equations in a and b! ‘One equation from continuity (3 things ‘One equation from derivative (2 thing 4) Continuity: Remember definition of continuity lim f(x) = f(¢) F()=3(P)=3 lim f@) = These must be equal so a+b=3 4st equation 2) Differentiability: 7) f 6x, x<1 a, x>1 ligs'e)=Tigana 2 equation a+b=3 a =6 So: AB Calculus Piecewise Functions Example: wel x1 2x, xl ro={ Determine whether this function is differentiable atx If itis differentiable, find the value of derivative at x Solution: A function is not differentiable at a point of discontinuity, so must check to see if f(x) is continuous at x=1 (4) To be continuous at x=1, it must be true that sM=lim f| [3rd part of Definition of Continuity] FMP +1=2 Jim /(@) must be analyzed by one-sided limits lim f (x)= lim 2x=2(1)=2 5 3 things must be equal Li f(@)= Jim 2x24) Therefore two-sided lim f(x) =2 Jim f(x) = tim Q?+ EP +1=2( Since f(1) =lim f(). f(@)is continuous at x=1 (2) Differentiability at x=1 li f'(@) must equal lim /'(2) 2x, x
