Solution 1

To show that the function f is differentiable at 0, we need to show that the limit as x approaches 0 of [f(x) - f(0)] / x exists.

First, let's note that f(0) = 0^2 = 0.

If x is rational, f(x) = x^2. So, [f(x) - f(0)] / x = [x^2 - 0] / x = x.

If x is irrational, f(x) = 0. So, [f(x) - f(0)] / x = [ Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
