Yes fuction will be differentiable at x =2. which can easily be seen by graph of the function.

First draw the graph of y = x2-x and then take mode.

Derivative will be = 2x-1
at x= 2
Derivative will be 4-1 = 3


Thank You

yes,
for x>1 f(x)=x^2-x
f'(x)=2x-1
f'(2)=4-1

Yes, for x>1, the f(x) = x^2 - x
It if a polynomial function. Hence it is differentiable at x=2.
