Differentiation expresses the rate at which a quantity, y, changes with respect to the change in another quantity, x, on which it has a functional relationship. Using the symbol Δ (Delta) to refer to change in a quantity, this rate is defined as a limit of difference quotients
which means the limit as Δx approaches 0. In Leibniz's notation for derivatives, the derivative of y with respect to x is written
suggesting the ratio of two infinitesimal quantities. The above expression is pronounced in various ways such as "d y by d x" or "d y over d x". The form "d y d x" is also used conversationally, although it may be confused with the notation for element of area.
Modern mathematicians do not bother with "dependent quantities", but simply state that differentiation is a mathematical operation on functions. One precise way to define the derivative is as a limit [2]:
A function is differentiable at a point x if the above limit exists (as a finite real number) at that point. A function is differentiable on an interval if it is differentiable at every point within the interval.

Probably by finding a function that is differentiable but not Lipschitz. For example, the function f(x)=x^2 on the real line. However, if the derivative is bounded the function is Lipschitz by the Mean value Theorem.
There are functions with unbounded derivative that are still Lipschitz (like f(x)=sqrt(x)).

It's false. Here's a counterexample from Wikipedia:
The function f(x) = x² with domain all real numbers is not Lipschitz continuous. This function becomes arbitrarily steep as x ââ.
To have Lipschitz continuity you need to have a bounded
first derivative.

Huh?!
You need to read the text book about this. It is a very well documented feature. Look it up on google, but essentially it's, in part, the condition where the function is continuous over the interval being differentiated.
