Derivative of piecewise function with $sinfrac{1}{x}$ term












1












$begingroup$


I was going through my calculus book, and I am not sure I understand this part



$f(x) = begin{cases} frac{x^2}{4}+x^4sin(frac{1}{x}) &text{if $xneq0$ } \ 0 &text{if $x=0$ } end{cases}$



$ f'(x) = begin{cases} frac{x}{2}-x^2cos(frac{1}{x})+4x^3sin(frac{1}{x}) &text{if $xneq0$ } \ 0 &text{if $x=0$ } end{cases}$



$ f''(x) = begin{cases} frac{1}{2}+12x^2sin(frac{1}{x})-sin(frac{1}{x})-6xcos(frac{1}{x}) &text{if $xneq0$ } \ frac{1}{2} &text{if $x=0$ } end{cases}$



So, I know that when I have piecewise function, I need to look at left and right limit, but I don't see why second part in second derivative is $frac{1}{2}$, or rather why does the $sinfrac{1}{x}$ term go to 0?

    It should be noted that the $sin frac{1}{x}$ term does not "go to $0$", and the result shows that while the second derivative $f"(0)$ exists, the second derivative is not continuous at $x=0$.

If $xneq0$, thenbegin{align}frac{f'(x)-f'(0)}x&=frac{frac x2-x^2cosleft(frac1xright)+4x^3sinleft(frac1xright)}x\&=frac12-xcosleft(frac1xright)+4x^2sinleft(frac1xright)end{align}and thereforebegin{align}f''(0)&=lim_{xto0}frac12-xcosleft(frac1xright)+4x^2sinleft(frac1xright)\&=frac12.end{align}
