ID: differentiability-does-not-imply-continuity-of-the-derivative

Extend the displayed function by . Its difference quotient at zero is , which tends to zero. Away from zero its derivative is . At this derivative equals , whereas at it equals . Thus differentiability implies continuity of the function but does not imply continuity of its derivative.
