Let (-9x2 + 4x for x < 0, f(x) = |7x² – 2 for x > 0. According to the alternate form of the definition of the derivative, to compute f'(0), v need to compute the left-hand limit lim x0- which is and the right-hand limit lim which is We conclude that f'(0) is Note: If a limit or derivative is undefined, enter 'undefined' as your answer.
