Solution
(b) differentiable at x = − 1
Differentiabilty at x = − 1
(LHD x = − 1)
\[{lim}_{x \to - 1^-} \frac{f(x) - f( - 1)}{x + 1}\]
\[ = {lim}_{x \to - 1} \frac{f(x) - f( - 1)}{x + 1}\]
\[ = {lim}_{x \to - 1} \frac{1 - 1}{- 1 + 1}\]
\[ = 0\]
(RHD x = − 1)
\[= {lim}_{x \to - 1^+} \frac{f (x) - f( - 1)}{x + 1} \]
\[ = {lim}_{x \to - 1} \frac{f (x) - f( - 1)}{x + 1} \]
\[ = {lim}_{x \to - 1} \frac{f (x) - f( - 1)}{x + 1}\]
\[ = {lim}_{x \to - 1} \frac{|x| - | - 1|}{x + 1}\]
\[ = \frac{1 - 1|}{- 1 + 1}\]
\[ = 0 \]
