real analysis - Is there any function in this way?




f is a function which is continous on R, and f2 is differentiable at x=0. Suppose f(0)=1. Must f be differentiable at 0?



I may feel it is not necessarily for f to be differentiable at x=0 though f2 is. But I cannot find a counterexample to disprove this. Anyone has an example?


Answer



Differentiability of f is existence of lim. Differentiability of f^2 is existence of \lim((f(x))^2-1)/x. Consider factoring the numerator of the latter and thinking about the consequences.
