Answer
$$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{|0+h|-|0-h|}{2h}=0$$
Work Step by Step
$$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{|0+h|-|0-h|}{2h}$$
$$=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{|h|-|-h|}{2h}$$
- As $h\to0^+$, meaning $h\gt0$ and $-h\lt0$, we have $|h|=h$ and $|-h|=-(-h)=h$
So, $$\lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{|h|-|-h|}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{h-h}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0^+}\frac{0}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0^+}0=0$$
- As $h\to0^-$, meaning $h\lt0$ and $-h\gt0$, we have $|h|=-h$ and $|-h|=-h$
So, $$\lim_{h\to0^-}\frac{|h|-|-h|}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0^-}\frac{-h-(-h)}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0^-}\frac{0}{2h}=\lim_{h\to0^-}0=0$$
The left-side and right-side limits are equal with each other, therefore, $$\lim_{h\to0}\frac{|0+h|-|0-h|}{2h}=0$$
As mentioned, this limit really exists while $f(x)=|x|$ has no derivative at $x=0$.
