i posted this question from this exam and thanks for all

(d/dx)x^(3/2) =(3/2)x^(3/2−1) =(3/2)(√x) so f′(0)=0

thank you sir lim_(x→0^+ ) f(x)=0 but lim_(x→0^− ) f(x) is not exist so i think we cant find f′(0)

it doesn′t make any sense (√(x ))is ′only′ for positive numbers,why do you need a limit?

i asked about the limit because f′(a)=lim_(x→a) ((f(x)−f(a))/(x−a)) f′(0)=lim_(x→0) ((x(√x)−0)/(x−0))=lim_(x→0) (√x) and i wasn^, t sure if lim_(x→0) (√x)=0 and thank you for your explaining

((f(0+h)−f(0))/h) = ((h^(3/2) −0)/h) = (√h) lim_(h→0^+ ) ((f(0+h)−f(0))/h) = 0 lim_(h→0^− ) ((f(0+h)−f(0))/h) does not exist

yes sir that what was i mean

with k = −h h = i^2 k (k≥0) lim_(h→0^− ) (√h) = lim_(k→0^+ ) i (√k) = i × 0 = 0

If the domain of the function has left end point then you only need RHL to prove continuity. You do not go outside of domain and say function is discontinuous. f(x)=(√x) is continuous at x=0.

f(x) is differentiable at a point x_0 iff lim_(x→x_0 ) ((f(x)−f(x_0 ))/(x−x_0 )) exists. lim_(x→0^+ ) ((x^(3/2) −0)/(x−0))=0 , lim_(x→0^− ) ((x^(3/2) −0)/(x−0)) doesn′t exist. Therefore f(x) is not differentiable at x=0

OK Sir. Thanks for the clarification.
