Differentiability and Continuity Concepts

The video tutorial covers the concepts of continuity and differentiability in piecewise functions. It begins with an introduction to piecewise functions and the conditions for continuity at a point, using f(x) as an example. The tutorial then explores differentiability, explaining that a function must be continuous and have equal left and right derivatives at a point. The video concludes with solving for constants K and M in a piecewise function G(x) to ensure differentiability at x=3.
