1














How would I give a simple example of a function $f$ differentiable in a deleted neighborhood of $x_0$ such that $lim_{xto x_0}f^prime(x)$ does not exist? I cannot seem to think of an example.



A delete neighborhood is an open interval about $x_0$ which does not contain $x_0$. So, $(x_0-delta,x_0+delta)-{x_0}$ for some $delta>0$.



How would something be differentiable in a deleted neighborhood if at the point of the derivative, the limit does not exist. Presumably, the derivative ends up looking something like $lim_{xto x_0} dfrac{1}{x}$, if it does not exist.

      You may try $f(x)=x^2cos(1/x)$, so that $f'(x)=2xcos(1/x)-sin(1/x)$ has a point of discontinuity at $x=0$.

        This is a slightly better example than mine, in fact, because $f$ is differentiable at zero as well.
