Let K be the set of all real values of x where the function is not differentiable. Then the set is equal to:
- (A) (an empty set)✓ Correct
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (A)
Solution
Differentiability need only be tested where the definition changes. At the two pieces join smoothly, so is differentiable there. At the right-hand derivative is and the left-hand derivative is ; since they agree, is differentiable at as well. The set of points of non-differentiability is therefore empty.
