1 3.2: Differentiability

2 Most of the functions we study in calculus will be differentiable.
If f has a derivative at x = a, then f is continuous at x = a. However, if a function is continuous at x=a, it is not necessarily differentiable at x=a! Continuous, but NOT Differentiable at x=0!

3 To be differentiable, a function must be continuous and smooth.
Derivatives will fail to exist at: corner cusp discontinuity vertical tangent

4 Derivatives on the Calculator

5 p Intermediate Value Theorem for Derivatives
If a and b are any two points in an interval on which f is differentiable, then takes on every value between and Between a and b, must take on every value between and . p
