Solution It's not unique Comment 2 of 2 |
The function I chose in this graph is not differentiable at 1.  It's piecewise with f and g together forming a single function.

I could shift the function up or down the line y=x+1/2 to make the derivative either 3 or 1/3.  I could also change the degree of shift to make the derivative any positive number.  

Note my graph looks like sawtooth graph rotated 45 degrees.  I think Charlie's idea would have worked has he rotated a sine wave instead of adding x.
