Answer
$f(x)=|x|$ = $\left\{ x, x\} > 0 -x, x<0\right.$
The function $f(x)$ is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at $x=0$ as at $x=0$
$L f^{\prime}(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-x-0}{x}=-1$
$R f^{\prime}(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x-0}{x}=1$
$\therefore L f^{\prime}(0) \neq R f^{\prime}(0)$, so $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=0$.
