Xylem Class 12 CBSE2 minutes read

A continuous function has no breaks, while differentiability refers to equal left-hand and right-hand derivatives at a point, with examples like mod(x) showcasing non-differentiable functions. Various derivative formulas for exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric functions are presented, emphasizing that continuity does not guarantee differentiability.

Insights

  • Continuity in a function means there are no breaks in its graph, with a function being continuous if it has no gaps. Continuous functions have equal left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and function value at a point.
  • Differentiability refers to when a function's left-hand derivative equals the right-hand derivative at a specific point. Continuity does not always guarantee differentiability, as seen in functions like f(x) = |x|, showcasing examples of non-differentiable functions.
