Differentiability on a Closed Interval A function f is differentiable on a closed interval [a,b] if f is differentiable on the open interval (a,b) and if the following limits exist:
Example 4
P(5,0) P(-5,0) l1 l2 y = f(x) P(a, f(a)) l y
Example 5 -5
Theorem Proof: f is continuous at a If a function f is differentiable at a, then f is continuous at a. Proof: f is continuous at a
