Please explain graphically the above changes(I imply changes in roots, derivatives at some points, continuity and differentiability at some points etc

Take the function $f(x) = 1$ if $x$ is rational and $-1$ if $x$ is irrational. Then $f$ is no where differentiable or continuous, and its graph has no tangent lines anywhere.

But $f^2(x) =1 $ for all real $x$, so it's differentiable and continuous everywhere and has a tangent at every point.

  • $\begingroup$ It's pretty easy to graph the function $y=1$ and observe its various properties. $\endgroup$

If y is f(x) then

$$(y^2)^{'} = 2 y y^{'}$$

The place where max/min occurs (x coordinate) is unaffected. But max / min of $y$ is itself changed as do others mentioned in title line.

  • $\begingroup$ The place where max/min occurs implies x coordinates, right? $\endgroup$ Jan 7, 2018 at 19:07
  • $\begingroup$ Yes, x coordinate. $\endgroup$
