Consider the function
$$f(x) = \frac{e^{-\mid x \mid}}{max\left\{e^x, e^{-x}\right\}}, x \epsilon R$$ It follows that
ForΒ $$x<0$$ , f(x) =Β $$2e^x$$ and it is a continuous function with approaching the value 2 asΒ $$x\longrightarrow\ 0$$Β
ForΒ $$x\ge\ 0$$ , f(x) =Β $$2e^{-x}$$Β and it is a continuous function with approaching the value 2 as $$x\longrightarrow\ 0$$Β
Therefore the function is continuous.
However,Β $$x\longrightarrow\ 0^-$$ f'(x) = 2 butΒ $$x\longrightarrow\ 0^+$$ f'(x) = -2
Thus it is not differentiable at exactly 1 point
