Homework Statement
f(x) is a piecewise function defined as:
[tex]|x-3| x>=1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{3x}{2}+\frac{13}{4} x<1[/tex]
Discuss the continuity and differentiability of this funtion at x=1 and x=3
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
At x=3, this function is continuous but not differentiable, being a modulus funtion. But how is is continuous and differentiable at x=1? Putting limit x=1 in the above funtion doesn't give you the same value for both the parts!
