A function ff is defined by f(x)={∣x∣,x≤0,x2,x>0.f(x)= \begin{cases} |x|, & x\le 0,\\ x^{2}, & x>0. \end{cases} Answer the following questions about the behavior of ff at x=0x=0. a. Part 1: (a) Determine whether ff is continuous at x=0x=0. Show the necessary limit calculations and state your conclusion. b. Part 2: (b) Determine whether ff is differentiable at x=0x=0. Evaluate the appropriate one-sided limits and justify your answer. c. Part 3: (c) Explain how your results in parts (a) and (b) illustrate the relationship between continuity and differentiability at a point.
