Gives the numeric value of the derivative at a given point, x = c.
Gives a generic expression into which we can substitute any x to get a numeric value of the derivative at that point.

This function has a sharp turn at x = 2.
Functions are not differentiable at
a. Discontinuities
b. Sharp turns
c. Vertical tangents
Therefore the slope of the tangent line at x = 2 does not exist.

This function has a V.A. at x = 3.
Theorem:
If f is differentiable at x = c,
then it must also be continuous at x = c.
Therefore the derivative at x = 3 does not exist.
