Work Step by Step

A function must be continuous at a point for the derivative to exist there. But just because a function is continuous at a point does not mean the derivative necessarily exists. The derivative exists when a function $f$ satisfies all of the following conditions at a point: 1. $f$ is continuous, 2. $f$ is smooth 3. $f$ does not have a vertical tangent line.
