The limit definition fails to produce a finite derivative for at . While the formula yields for , substituting results in division by zero, indicating that the slope of the tangent line is vertical and the derivative is undefined (infinite) at that point.
Conditions: .; The point of evaluation is .; The limit is taken as (since the domain is ).
