Problem

Let g(x)=∣x∣g(x)=|x| for all real numbers xx. (a) Compute the limit that represents the derivative of gg at x=0x=0 from the left side. (b) Compute the corresponding limit from the right side. (c) Decide whether gg is differentiable at x=0x=0. Provide a clear justification. (d) Describe the geometric feature of the graph of y=g(x)y=g(x) at x=0x=0 that supports your analytical conclusion.
