Before going to find the derivatives of some functions we need to check whether they are
differentiable or not.
For this we need to prove that R.H.L.(Right Hand Limit) & L.H.L. (Left Hand Limit) exists are

As the expression oscillates between -1 and +1, the limit does not exists.
Hence the function is not differentiable at x = 0.
Note :
As LHD is undefined there is no need to check RHD for differentiability as for differentiability
both LHD and RHD should be defined and equal.

So far, we have discussed derivatives of the functions of the form ( f (x)) n , n f (x ) and nn , where
f (x) is a function of x and n is a constant. In this section, we will be mainly discussing derivatives
