Definition 1
Let y = f(x) at point x 0 x_0x0has a definition in a certain field, if
lim Δ x → 0 Δ y = lim Δ x → 0 [ f ( x 0 + Δ x ) − f ( x 0 ) ] = 0 \displaystyle \lim_{Δx \to 0} Δy = \lim_{Δx \ to 0}[f(x_0 + Δx) - f(x_0)] = 0Δx→0limΔy _=Δx→0lim[f(x0+Δ x )−f(x0)]=0
Then it is said that y = f(x) is at point x 0 x_0x0Continuous everywhere

Let y = f(x) at point x 0 x_0x0has a definition in a certain field, if
lim Δ x → 0 f ( x ) = f ( x 0 ) \displaystyle \lim_{Δx \to 0}f(x) = f(x_0) Δx→0limf(x)=f(x0)
Then it is said that y = f(x) is at x 0 x_0x0Continuous everywhere
1.2 Definition of differentiable
Let y = f(x) at point x 0 x_0x0is defined in a certain field, if the limit
lim Δ x → 0 Δ y Δ x = lim Δ x → 0 f ( x 0 + Δ x ) − f ( x 0 ) Δ x \displaystyle \lim_{Δx \to 0} \frac{Δy}{Δx } = \lim_{Δx \to 0} \frac{f(x_0 + Δx) - f(x_0)}{Δx}Δx→0limΔx _Δy _=Δx→0limΔx _f(x0+Δ x )−f(x0)
exists, then f(x) is said to be at point x 0 x_0x0It is differentiable everywhere, denoted as f ′ ( x 0 ) f'(x_0)f′(x0) can also be written asy ′ ∣ x = x 0 , dydx ∣ x = x 0 , df ( x ) dx ∣ x = x 0 y'|_{x=x_0}, \frac{dy}{dx}|_ {x=x_0}, \frac{df(x)}{dx}|_{x=x_0}y′∣x=x0,dxdy∣x=x0,dxdf(x)∣x=x0
1.3 Definition of differentiable
Let y = f(x) at point x 0 x_0x0It is defined in a certain field ofΔy _=f(x0+Δ x )−f(x0) can be expressed as
Δ y = A Δ x + o ( Δ x ) , ( Δ x → 0 ) \Delta y = A\Delta x + o(\Delta x),(\Delta x\to 0)Δy _=AΔx+o(Δx),( Δx _→0),
where A is independent of Δ x \Delta xΔx is a constant, then the function is said to be at x 0 x_0x0Differentiable everywhere, and A Δ x A\Delta xA Δ x is called the functiony = f ( x ) y=f(x)y=f ( x ) at pointx 0 x_0x0Relative to the independent variable increment Δ x \Delta xThe differential of Δ x is denoted as dy, that is,
dy = A Δ x \displaystyle dy = A\Delta xdy=AΔx

3.1 Differentiability and Differentiability
-
Differentiable must be conductive
According to the above definition, assuming that the function is differentiable at the point y=f(x), divide both sides of the function by Δ x \Delta xΔ x , we get
Δ y Δ x = A + o ( Δ x ) Δ x \displaystyle \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = A + \frac{o(\Delta x)}{\Delta x}Δx _Δy _=A+Δx _o(Δx)
当 Δ x → 0 \Delta x \to 0 Δx _→At 0 o'clock, there is
A = lim Δ x → 0 Δ y Δ x = f ′ ( x 0 ) \displaystyle A = \lim_{Δx \to 0} \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = f'(x_0)A=Δx→0limΔx _Δy _=f′(x0)
Meet the definition of derivable

Derivable must be differentiable
若 y = f ( x 0 ) y=f(x_0) y=f(x0) at pointx 0 x_0x0can be derived, then
lim Δ x → 0 Δ y Δ x = f ′ ( x 0 ) \displaystyle \lim_{Δx \to 0} \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = f'(x_0)Δx→0limΔx _Δy _=f′(x0)
Exist, according to the relationship between limit and infinitesimal (Theorem 1, Chapter 1, Section 4, Advanced Mathematics), it can be written as
Δ y Δ x = f ′ ( x 0 ) + α \displaystyle \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = f'(x_0) + \alphaΔx _Δy _=f′(x0)+a
where α → 0 (when Δ x → 0) \alpha \to 0 (when Δx \to 0)a→0 ( when Δ x→0 ) , multiply both sides byΔ x \Delta xΔ x , there is
Δ y = f ′ ( x 0 ) Δ + α Δ x \Delta y = f'(x_0)\Delta + \alpha\Delta xΔy _=f′(x0) D+a D x
因α Δ x = o ( Δ x ) α\Delta x =o(\Delta x)a D x=o ( Δ x ) , andf ′ ( x 0 ) f'(x_0)f′(x0) does not depend onΔ x \Delta xΔ x , consistent with the definition of differentiable
3.2 Differentiable and continuous

Differentiable (differentiable) must be continuous
Tips: It can be seen from the above proof that the function f ( x 0 ) f(x_0)f(x0) atx 0 x_0x0The necessary and sufficient condition for a point to be differentiable is that the function f ( x 0 ) f(x_0)f(x0) atx 0 x_0x0Points are differentiable, so as long as it is proved that differentiability must be continuous, it can be deduced that differentiability must be continuous.
The following proof can be derived that it must be continuous
Let the function y = f ( x ) y = f(x)y=f ( x ) is differentiable at x, that is
lim Δ x → 0 Δ y Δ x = f ′ ( x ) \displaystyle \lim_{Δx \to 0} \frac{Δy}{Δx} = f'(x)Δx→0limΔx _Δy _=f′ (x), according to the relationship between limit and infinitesimal (Theorem 1, Chapter 1, Section 4, Advanced Mathematics), it can be written as
Δ y Δ x = f ′ ( x ) + α \displaystyle \frac{Δy}{Δx} = f'(x) + \alphaΔx _Δy _=f′(x)+a
where α → 0 (when Δ x → 0) \alpha \to 0 (when Δx \to 0)a→0 ( when Δ x→0 ) , multiply both sides byΔ x \Delta xΔ x , there is
Δ y = f ′ ( x ) Δ x + α Δ x \Delta y = f'(x)\Delta x + \alpha\Delta xΔy _=f′(x)Δx+a D x
It can be seen that when Δ x → 0 \Delta x \to 0Δx _→0时,Δ y → 0 \Delta y \to 0Δy _→0 , which conforms to the definition of function continuity 1, so the derivative must be continuous

Continuous is not necessarily differentiable
Counterexample: y = ∣ x ∣ y = |x|y=∣ x ∣continuous but not differentiable

Proof 1
The function image is as follows:
The geometric meaning of the derivative is the slope of the tangent line, that is, f ′ ( x 0 ) = tan α f'(x_0) = tan \alphaf′(x0)=t a n α , it is easy to know that the slope on the left side of the origin is -1 and on the right side is 1. The left and right derivatives are not equal, so they are not differentiable (the necessary and sufficient condition for derivation is that the left and right limits exist and are equal)

4.Memory method
Differentiability and differentiability are equivalent, so remember the relationship between the three. Just remember that continuous is not necessarily differentiable\differentiable .
