Problem 3.2.20b
Textbook Question
Use the graph of g in the figure to do the following. <IMAGE>
b. Find the values of x in (-2,2) at which g is not differentiable.

Step 1: Understand the concept of differentiability. A function is differentiable at a point if it has a defined derivative at that point, which means the function must be continuous and smooth (no sharp corners or cusps) at that point.
Step 2: Examine the graph of the function g(x) over the interval (-2, 2). Look for points where the graph has sharp corners, cusps, or vertical tangents, as these are common places where a function is not differentiable.
Step 3: Identify any points of discontinuity within the interval (-2, 2). A function is not differentiable at any point where it is not continuous.
Step 4: Check for any vertical tangents within the interval. A vertical tangent occurs when the slope of the tangent line is undefined, which means the derivative does not exist at that point.
Step 5: List all the x-values within the interval (-2, 2) where the function g(x) is not differentiable based on the observations from the graph.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Differentiability
A function is differentiable at a point if it has a defined derivative there, meaning the function must be continuous and have a well-defined tangent line at that point. If a function has a sharp corner, cusp, or vertical tangent, it is not differentiable at that point, even if it is continuous.

Continuity
A function is continuous at a point if the limit of the function as it approaches that point equals the function's value at that point. For differentiability, continuity is a necessary condition; however, continuity alone does not guarantee differentiability.

Critical Points
Critical points are values of x where the derivative of a function is either zero or undefined. These points are essential for analyzing the behavior of the function, including identifying where it may not be differentiable, such as at corners or discontinuities.
