Answer

Finally, we check the derivative at x=0, which is the point where the function is not defined. Since the derivative does not exist at x=0, the function is not differentiable over the interval [2,2].

Steps

Step 1 :First, we find the derivative of the function. The derivative of f(x)=|x| is f(x)=x/|x| for x0.

Step 2 :Then, we check the derivative at the endpoints of the interval. At x=2, f(2)=1; at x=2, f(2)=1.

Step 3 :Finally, we check the derivative at x=0, which is the point where the function is not defined. Since the derivative does not exist at x=0, the function is not differentiable over the interval [2,2].
