Options:
  • A The derivative of a function $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ at a point will exist if there is one tangent to the curve $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ at that point and the tangent is parallel to y-axis
  • B The derivative of a function $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ at a point will exist if there is one tangent to the curve $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ at that point and the tangent must be parallel to $\mathrm{x}$ -axis
  • C The derivative of a function $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ at a point will exist if there is one and only one tangent to the curve $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{f}[\mathrm{x}]$ at that point and the tangent is not parallel to y-axis
  • D None of the above
