Problem

Consider the function p:R→Rp:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R defined by p(x)=x1/3+xp(x)=x^{1/3}+x. a. Establish that pp is continuous at x=0x=0. b. Determine whether pp is differentiable at x=0x=0. Support your answer by computing the relevant limit or limits. c. Describe the behavior of the tangent to the graph of pp near x=0x=0 and classify the type of non-differentiability (if any) present at that point.
