For the sum :
- In case (a), yes. If were differentiable at , then would be differentiable there, contrary to the hypothesis.
- In case (b), no. TakeBoth are continuous and nondifferentiable at , but is differentiable.
For the product , the answer is no in both cases:
- For case (a), take and . Then is differentiable at , is not, buthas derivative at .
- For case (b), take . Neither factor is differentiable at , whereasis differentiable.
Every displayed and is a continuous function and is nonzero at points arbitrarily close to , so the extra condition in the question is satisfied.
