All of the standard functions are differentiable
except at certain singular points, as follows:
Polynomials are differentiable for all arguments.
A rational function
is differentiable except where q(x) = 0, where the function
grows to infinity. This happens in two ways, illustrated by
.
Sines and cosines and exponents are differentiable everywhere
but tangents and secants are singular at certain values. (where?)
The inverse functions to powers such as x1/2 and
x1/3 are differentiable where they are defined
except where the functions they are inverse to have 0 derivative.
