Derivative of Piece-wise Function
Not what you're looking for?
Prove the following:
If f(x) = 1 if x is greater than or equal to 0 and f(x) = 0 if x < 0, then there is no function F such that F'(x) = f(x) for every x in R.

Solution Summary
The solution uses the definition of derivative to prove the statement. The derivatives of piece-wise functions are determined.
Solution Preview
Let's look at the case of x = 0. (Since we want to disprove that there is a function F with F'(x) = f(x) for all x in R, it is enough to show that there is no ...
