Continuity & Differentiability · Question 20 of 125

What is the right-hand derivative of this three-piece f at x = 1?

Question 20

MediumOriginal question

f(x)=x+1f(x) = x + 1 for x<1x < 1, f(1)=2f(1) = 2, and f(x)=3x−1f(x) = 3x - 1 for x>1x > 1.

What is the right-hand derivative of this three-piece ff at x=1x = 1?

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. lim⁡h→0+f(1+h)−f(1)h=lim⁡h→0+3(1+h)−1−2h\lim_{h \to 0^{+}} \frac{f(1 + h) - f(1)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^{+}} \frac{3(1 + h) - 1 - 2}{h}.

  2. =lim⁡h→0+3hh=3= \lim_{h \to 0^{+}} \frac{3h}{h} = 3.

Worth noting

1 is the left-hand derivative, the slope of x+1x + 1.
