is split function derivable

110 Views Asked by At

$ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{sin(x)}{x}, & x \ne0 \\ x+1, & x=0 \end{cases}$

I know that the function is a continuous function in R. But is this function derivable at x=0?

I am not sure..

Thanks

RHS: lim$_{h\rightarrow 0}\dfrac{f(h)-f(0)}{h}=\dfrac{\sin h-h}{h^2}$

On applying L'Hospital's Rule twice we get limit 0

Similarly LHS:

$\dfrac{f(0)-f(-h)}{h}=\dfrac{h-\sin h}{h^2}(\dfrac{0}{0})$

On applying L'Hospital's Rule twice we get limit 0

Thus differentiable at 0
