Does f'(0) exist? If it does, find its value. If it does not, explain why.
I really am getting two different answers: graphically, the graph indicates a discontinuity while the left-hand and the right-hand limits are both equal. Any help?

f'(0) does not exist because the function is discontinuous at x = 0. For the derivative to exist at some point in the domain of the function, the function must be continuous at that point. This function is discontinuous at x = 0 and is, therefore, not differentiable at x = 0.
