Is the Function B(x)= xsin(1/x) Differentiable at x=0?
I think the requirements are: 1)the derivative exists at a point 2)limits approaching from both sides of that point are the same ? So, the derivative does not exist at 0, BUT isn't it defined at 0 ? Does that mean the derivative actually exists and the function can be differentiate?- sl2382

Is the Function B(x)= xsin(1/x) Differentiable at x=0?
Homework Statement B(x)= xsin(1/x) when x is not equal to 0 = 0 when x is equal to 0 Determine if the function is differentiable at 0 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I get B'(x)= sin(1/x)+cos(1/x)*(-1/x) but really do not know what should be done next...- sl2382

Why Is the Chain Rule Necessary for Differentiating Functions Like e^sqrt(x)?
Just some general questions as I'm confused with when to use chain rule when not to. For instance, to find the derivative of e^sqrt(x), the right answer is to use chain rule to get e^sqrtx*the derivative of sqrt(x). BUT, isn't there a formula that: d/dx K^x = In(K)*K^x? K for constant and x...- sl2382

The *reciprocal* of a one-to-one function
Does one-to-one means that g(x) can't be 0? Since if g=0 then it can't pass the horizontal line test.- sl2382

The *reciprocal* of a one-to-one function
Hi, thank you so much. I calculated once again: g^2(x)'/g^2(x) Is this one right? It is the reciprocal, the 1/g(x). The question asks for if 1/g(x) is differentiable at every point in its domain.- sl2382

The *reciprocal* of a one-to-one function
Homework Statement If g(x) is one-to-one and differentiable at every point in R, then its reciprocal 1/g(x) is also differentiable at every point in its domain. True of False? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I have tried several times, and the statement seems to be...- sl2382
