As in the previous example, f is discontinuous everywhere except at x=0.
This means that f certainly can't be differentiable for any
, since
differentiability implies continuity. But at x=0 it is not only continuous but
also differentiable! Look at
The difference quotient can be written as
But we saw that this limit is 0 in the previous example (with x instead of h, but hey, it's just a letter). So, f'(0) exists and is 0.
