Question
Prove that the function f given by:
$\text{f(x)} = |\text{x} - 1|, \text{x} \in \text{R}$
is not differentiable at x = 1.
✓

Answer

Given: $\text{f(x)} = |\text{x} - 1|\ \therefore \ \text{f(1)} = |1 - 1| = 0$
$\text{R}\text{f}{'}(1) = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{\text{f(1 + h)}-\text{f}(1)}{\text{h}} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{|1 + \text{h} - 1|-0}{\text{h}}$$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{|\text{h}|}{\text{h}}= ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{\text{h}}{\text{h}}=1$
$\text{And}\ \text{L}\text{f}{'}(1) = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{\text{f(1 - h)}-\text{f}(1)}{-\text{h}} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{|1 - \text{h} - 1|-0}{-\text{h}}$$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{|-\text{h}|}{\text{h}}= ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{-\text{h}}{\text{h}}=-1$
Since $\text{R }\text{f}{'}(1)\neq \text{L}{\text{f}}{'}(1)$
Therefore, f(x) is not differentiable at x =1.
