If $f(x)=|\cos x|$, then $f'(3 \pi / 4)$ is equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
In the neighbourhood of $x=\frac{3 \pi}{4}$, we have
$\cos x<0 \Rightarrow|\cos x|=-\cos x$
∴ $f(x)=-\cos x $
$\Rightarrow f'(x)=\sin x$
$\Rightarrow f'\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{3 \pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
