Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This differentiation microscope lets you graphically explore if a function is differentiable at a given point . If you "zoom in" at any point
and you see that in a very close neighborhood of
the function looks like a linear function, then the function
is differentiable at
, otherwise not. Can you find points where
is differentiable and points where otherwise it is not?
