Objectives: 1.Be able to make a connection between a differentiablity and continuity. 2.Be able to use the alternative form of the derivative to determine if the derivative exists at a specific point. Critical Vocabulary: Slope, Tangent Line, Derivative Warm Ups: 1. Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f(x) = x 3 + 2x at the point (1, 3). 2. Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f(x) = x 2 – 3x -2 at the point (2, 13/4).

I. Differentiability and Continuity If a function is NOT __________ at a certain point, (say, x = c) then it is also not _________________ at x = c. Greatest Integer Function: f(x)=[[x]] Let’s look at when x = 0 We notice the graph is not continuous at x = 0 because we have a gap. We can’t take a ___________ at a gap We can show this algebraically by using an alternative form of the limit definition of the derivative. This requires that the one-sided limits exist and are equal

1.If a function is ____________ (you can take the derivative) at x = c, then it is ________ at x = c. So, ______________ implies ______________. 2.It is possible for a function to be __________ at x = c and ______ be differentiable at x = c. So, _______ does not imply _____________ (Sharp turns in graphs and vertical tangents). I. Differentiability and Continuity
