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

ddxx3/2=32x3/21=32xsof(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)

thankyousirlimfx0+(x)=0butlimfx0(x)isnotexistsoithinkwecantfindf(0)

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

itdoesntmakeanysensexisonlyforpositivenumbers,whydoyouneedalimit?

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

f(0+h)f(0)h=h320h=hlimh0+f(0+h)f(0)h=0limh0f(0+h)f(0)hdoesnotexist

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

withk=hh=i2k(k0)limh0h=limk0+ik=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

  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.  It is incorrect to take LHL for  function (√x)

OK Sir. Thanks for the clarification.
