Sec 2.8: The Derivative as a Function DEFINITION DEFINITION If ƒ’(a) exists, we say that ƒ is differentiable at a. (has a derivative at a) A function f is differentiable on an open interval (a, b) if it is differentiable at every number in the interval. Example: ƒ is differentiable on (3, 4) Example: ƒ is differentiable on Example: ƒ is not differentiable on
