THEOREM:
Any differentiable function, in particular, must be continuous across its domain. The opposite is not true: a
continuous function does not have to be differentiable. A function with such a bend, vertical tangent or cusp for
example, maybe continuous but not differentiable at the anomalous position.

lim f ′ 0 = lim 2𝑥 s𝑖𝑛 − 𝑐𝑜s = lim 2𝑥 lim s𝑖𝑛 − lim 𝑐𝑜s = 0 − 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡

Rf ′ 0 = Lf ′ 0 ≠ f ′ 0
Hence f ′ 0 is not continuous.
