Let g(x)=∣x∣g(x)=|x|. Concerning the derivative at x=0x=0, which statement is correct? a) g′(0)=0g'(0)=0 because the cusp is symmetric at x=0x=0 b) g′(0)=1g'(0)=1 since ∣x∣|x| behaves like xx for small xx c) g′(0)g'(0) does not exist because the left–hand derivative is −1-1 while the right–hand derivative is 11 d) g′(0)g'(0) does not exist because the function is discontinuous at 00
