Checking the differentiability of a given function Check if the function $f(x)=1-(x-1)^{2/3}$
 is differentiable . I have used basic limit definition of differentiation, but could not solve the limit.

We have that by definition
$$\lim_{x\to 1^+} \frac{f(x)-f(1)}{x-1}=\lim_{x\to 1^+} \frac{-(x-1)^{2/3}}{x-1}=\lim_{x\to 1^+} -\frac1{(x-1)^{1/3}}\to -\infty$$
therefore $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=1$.
Or as an alternative 
$$f(x)=1-(x-1)^{2/3} \implies f'(x)=-\frac2{3\sqrt[3]{x-1}}$$
and
$$\lim_{x\to 1^+} f'(x)=-\infty$$
