Visualized Solution (Hindi)

Visualizing the Function

  • Function:
  • Goal: Find and .
  • Check if the function is differentiable at .

Right-Hand Derivative Formula

  • Definition:
  • This represents the slope of the tangent from the right side.

Substitution for

  • Substitute and :
  • f'(0^+) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{\frac{h}{1 + e^{1/h}} - 0}{h}

Simplifying the RHD Expression

  • Cancel from the numerator and denominator:
  • f'(0^+) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{1}{1 + e^{1/h}}

Evaluating the RHD Limit

  • As , .
  • Therefore, .
  • f'(0^+) = \frac{1}{1 + \infty} = 0

Left-Hand Derivative Formula

  • Definition:
  • This represents the slope of the tangent from the left side.

Substitution for

  • Substitute and :
  • f'(0^-) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{\frac{-h}{1 + e^{-1/h}} - 0}{-h}

Simplifying the LHD Expression

  • Cancel from the numerator and denominator:
  • f'(0^-) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{1}{1 + e^{-1/h}}

Evaluating the LHD Limit

  • As , .
  • Therefore, .
  • f'(0^-) = \frac{1}{1 + 0} = 1

Final Conclusion

  • Since , the function is not differentiable at .
  • Final Answer:
