Need Some Math Help
I have a small Calculus question.
Lets say I have a graph that isn't a function because it fails the vertical line test. Does a derivative graph exist for that graph. Meaning, can I derive a graph that isn't a function? Also technically, would any extremums or discontinuities exist if the graph isn't a function?

I don't think so. Because if the function does not exist, then you would have to take into account the discontinuity of the function. Therefore, the function may not exist at a particular x-value where f(x) =/= constant, but it may still exist at another y-value point.
