The function f(x) = |x| at x = 0 is continuous but not:

ADefined there
BReal valued at
CBounded there
DDifferentiable
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Differentiable
1. The graph of the modulus function has a sharp corner. 2. You can draw it without lifting the pen. 3. But no single tangent exists at the corner. 4. So it is continuous but not differentiable. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Ch 5 'Continuity and Differentiability'_
