Question
Write the derivative of $f(x) = |x|^3$ at $x = 0.$
✓

Answer

Given: $\text{f(x)}=|\text{x}^3|=\begin{cases}\text{x}^3, \text{x}\geq0 -\text{x}^3, \text{x}<0\end{cases}$
$(LHL$ at $x = 0)$
$\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0^{-}}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}-0}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(0-\text{h})-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}^3}{-\text{h}}$
$=0$
$(RHL$ at $x = 0)$
$\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0^{+}}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}-0}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(0+\text{h})-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}^3-0}{-\text{h}}$
$=0$
And $f(0) = 0.$
Thus, $(LHL$ at $x = 0) = (RHL$ at $x = 0) = f(0)$
Hence, $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}-0}=\text{f}'(0)=0$.
