In the future, all will become clear.

The derivative is the slope of the original function. The derivative is defined at the end points of a function on a closed interval.
10
A function is differentiable if it has a derivative everywhere in its domain. It must be continuous and smooth. Functions on closed intervals must have one-sided derivatives defined at the end points. www.apcalculusbc.com
