  2. Differentiable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_function

    A differentiable function. In mathematics, a differentiable function of one real variable is a function whose derivative exists at each point in its domain.In other words, the graph of a differentiable function has a non-vertical tangent line at each interior point in its domain.

    Special functions: non-elementary functions that have established names and notations due to their importance. Trigonometric functions: relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. Nowhere differentiable function called also Weierstrass function: continuous everywhere but not differentiable even at a single point.

    Kronecker delta function: is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal, and 0 otherwise. Minkowski's question mark function: Derivatives vanish on the rationals. Weierstrass function: is an example of continuous function that is nowhere differentiable

    It states that if f is continuously differentiable, then around most points, the zero set of f looks like graphs of functions pasted together. The points where this is not true are determined by a condition on the derivative of f. The circle, for instance, can be pasted together from the graphs of the two functions ± √ 1 - x 2.

  6. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    A function of a real variable is differentiable at a point of its domain, if its domain contains an open interval containing ⁠ ⁠, and the limit = (+) exists. [2] This means that, for every positive real number ⁠ ⁠, there exists a positive real number such that, for every such that | | < and then (+) is defined, and | (+) | <, where the vertical bars denote the absolute value.

    differentiable function A differentiable function of one real variable is a function whose derivative exists at each point in its domain. As a result, the graph of a differentiable function must have a (non-vertical) tangent line at each point in its domain, be relatively smooth, and cannot contain any breaks, bends, or cusps. differential ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve

    In Euclidean geometry, an arc (symbol: ⌒) is a connected subset of a differentiable curve. Arcs of lines are called segments, rays, or lines, depending on how they are bounded. A common curved example is an arc of a circle, called a circular arc. In a sphere (or a spheroid), an arc of a great circle (or a great ellipse) is called a great arc.

  9. Rolle's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolle's_theorem

    This function is continuous on the closed interval [−r, r] and differentiable in the open interval (−r, r), but not differentiable at the endpoints −r and r. Since f (− r ) = f ( r ) , Rolle's theorem applies, and indeed, there is a point where the derivative of f is zero.
