Prove that the greatest integer function defined by
$\text{f(x)} = [\text{x} ], 0 < \text{x} < 3$
is not differentiable at x = 1 and x = 2.

Answer

Given: $\text{f(x)} = [\text{x} ], 0 < \text{x} < 3$
$\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}{\text{h}}$$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{1-1}{\text{h}}= ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{0}{\text{h}}=0$
$\text{And}\ \text{L}\text{f}{'}(1) = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{\text{f(1 - h)}-\text{f}(1)}{-\text{h}} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{|1 - \text{h}| - 1}{-\text{h}}$$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{|1-\text{h}|-1}{\text{h}}= ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\frac{0-1}{-\text{h}}=\infty$
Since $\text{R }\text{f}{'}(1)\neq \text{L}{\text{f}}{'}(1)$
Therefore, f(x) = [x] is not differentiable at x =1.
Similarly f(x) = [x] is not differentiable at x = 2.
