Define h:R→Rh:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R by h(x)=∣x2−4∣1/3h(x)=\bigl|x^{2}-4\bigr|^{1/3}. a. Verify that hh is continuous at every real number. b. Show that hh is not differentiable at x=2x=2. Your argument must rely on the limit definition of the derivative and should identify the specific feature (corner, cusp, or vertical tangent) causing non-differentiability. c. Determine whether hh is differentiable at x=−2x=-2 and provide a complete justification. d. Identify the set of all real numbers at which hh is differentiable, and summarize your reasoning clearly.
