Help with exercise 19.C
Prove by definition

19.1 DEFINITION. If c is a cluster point of D and belongs to D,
we say that a real number L is the derivative of f at c if for every positive
number e there is a positive number 8(e) such that if x belongs to D and
if 0 < |æ – cl < ô(e), then
f(x) – f(c)
(19.1)
L<
x - c
In this case we write f' (c) for L.
Alternatively, we could define f' (c) as the limit
(19.2)
f(x) - f(c)
lim
(x € D).
x - c
It is to be noted that if c is an interior point of D, then in (19.1) we
consider the points x both to the left and the right of the point c. On
the other hand, if D is an interval and c is the left end point of D, then
in relation (19.1) we can only take x to the right of c. In this case we
sometimes say that "L is the right-hand derivative of f at r = c." How-
ever, for our purposes it is not necessary to introduce such terminology.
Whenever the derivative of f at c exists, we denote its value by f' (c).
In this way we obtain a function f' whose domain is a subset of the
domain of f. We now show that continuity of f at c is a necessary con-
dition for the existence of the derivative at c.

19.B. If f and g are real-valued functions defined on an interval J, and if they
are differentiable at a point e, show that their product h, defined by h(x)
f(x)g(x), x € J, is differentiable at c and
h' (c) = f'(c)g(c) + f(c)gʻ(c).
19.C. Show that the function defined for x # 0 by
f(x)
sin (1/x)
is differentiable at each non-zero real number. Show that its derivative is not
bounded on a neighborhood of x =
identities, the continuity of the sine and cosine functions, and the elementary
limiting relation
0. (You may make use of trigonometric
sin u
as u → 0.)
