Differentiable function

Builds on Derivative

Definition

Let II be an open interval and let f ⁣:I→ℝf \colon I \to \mathbb{R} be a function. The function ff is differentiable at a∈Ia \in I if ff has a derivative at aa. It is differentiable on II if it is differentiable at each point of II.

Remarks

Differentiable functions are continuous. The converse fails: the absolute value is continuous but not differentiable at 00. Polynomials, the exponential function, and the sine are differentiable on ℝ\mathbb{R}. Mathlib defines differentiability at a point as DifferentiableAt.
