1 The water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C) are absorbed easily along with the water in the small intestine, where they then travel through the body via the blood vessels. 2  Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, and K) are absorbed just like the fat mentioned above.
A function f is said to be continuously differentiable if the derivative f'(x) exists and is itself a continuous function. Though the derivative of a differentiable function never has a jump discontinuity, it is possible for the derivative to have an essential discontinuity. For example, the function.
Part B: Differentiability. Note To understand this topic, you will need to be familiar with limits, as discussed in the chapter on derivatives in Calculus Applied to the Real World. If you like, you can review the topic summary material on derivatives and limits or, for a more detailed study, the on-line tutorial on derivatives. To begin, we recall the definition of the derivative of a function, and what it means for a function to be differentiable.
