Dear dinesh

f(x) =      xn sin 1/x        x not 0

                  0                 x =0

for differentiability at x=0

RHD     f'(0)= lim x tends to 0+  {f(x)-f(0)}/(x-0)

                    =lim x tends to 0+  xn-1 sin1/x

                    limit exixt for n>=1    and sin(1/x)   always lies between -1 to 1

                  

LHD f'(0)= lim x tends to 0-     {f(x)-f(0)}/(x-0)

                    =lim x tends to 0-        xn-1 sin1/x

                    limit exixt for n>=1    and sin(1/x)   always lies between -1 to 1

   LHD =RHD  only possible for n>=1
