To find if a point on the graph is Differentiabe you use the limit defintion of a derivative. But cant we use the power rule instead?

In this picture the person determines if the limit exists by checking if the limit from the left is equal to the limit from the right side. But using the power rule instead I just check if the left derivative is equal to the right derivative and if they are equal then the point is differentiable.
