Continuity & Differentiability · Question 93 of 125

Question 93

MediumOriginal question

Which of these describes f(x)=x∣x∣f(x) = x\lvert x \rvert at x=0x = 0?

Options for question 93

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. f(x)=−x2f(x) = -x^{2} for x<0x < 0 and x2x^{2} for x≥0x \ge 0; both pieces give 0 at 0.

  2. Both one-sided derivatives are 0: differentiable.

Worth noting

Multiplying ∣x∣\lvert x \rvert by xx flattens the corner: both slopes become 0.
