To be differentiable, a function must be
continuous and smooth.
Derivatives will fail to exist at
corner
cusp
discontinuity
vertical tangent
4
Most of the functions we study in calculus will
be differentiable.

Derivatives on the TI-89
You must be able to calculate derivatives with
the calculator and without.
Today you will be using your calculator, but be
sure to do them by hand if possible.
Remember that half the AP test is no calculator.

Warning
The calculator may return an incorrect value if
you evaluate a derivative at a point where the
function is not differentiable.

There are two theorems that you need to remember
Since a function must be continuous to have a
derivative, if it has a derivative then it is
continuous.
